EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a moment in time when the future King Edward VII, then known as the Prince of Wales, engaged in a hunting excursion at Beypore, India, in 1876. The Prince, who was on his way from Bombay to Ceylon, made a stop at Beypore to hunt otters. He did not disembark from his steam-barge due to the prevalence of cholera in the district. The sketch was made by an officer of the Serapis, a British warship that accompanied the Prince's steam-barge. The Prince is depicted in his hunting attire, wearing a jacket, trousers, and a hat, holding a gun and aiming at an otter in the water. The Prince of Wales was known for his love of hunting and blood sports, which was a common pastime among the British elite during the colonial era. The Chaliyar River, a geographical feature in Kerala, India, serves as the backdrop to this scene, highlighting the vast expanse of the British Empire in Hindustan. The image, published in the Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into the lifestyle and fashion of the British Raj, reflecting the imperialist mindset and the concept of hunting as a symbol of power and status.
