EDITORS COMMENTS
Antelope-Hunting in India: The Chase, 1858" is a captivating engraving that transports us back in time to the British Raj in India during the nineteenth century. The image, created from sketches by Captain W.R. Goodall of the Military Train, showcases an intense moment of a hunt for an antelope in the Indian wilderness. The antelope, a young buck, is depicted in the foreground, exhausted and on the brink of surrender. Its coat is speckled with sweat and dirt, and its eyes are wide with fear as it tries to evade its pursuers. The chase has taken a toll on the antelope, and it can barely keep up with the relentless pursuit of its hunters. Close on its heels are a group of dogs, their coats glistening with sweat and determination. Their jaws are open, and their eyes are focused intently on their quarry. The dogs in the sketches are portraits of some very fine Australian kangaroo dogs, which were highly prized for their agility and endurance in hunting. The scene is set against the backdrop of the Indian countryside, with tall grasses and trees providing cover for the chase. The image is a testament to the skill and determination of the hunters and their dogs, as they close in for the kill. The print, which was published in the Illustrated London News in 1858, is a fascinating glimpse into the world of big game hunting during the British colonial era in India. The engraving is a masterful work of art, capturing the raw energy and excitement of the chase, as well as the beauty and majesty of the Indian wilderness. It is a reminder of a time when hunting was a popular pastime for the British elite, and a way of asserting their dominance over the natural world. Today, it stands as a historical record of a bygone era, and a reminder of the enduring allure of the great outdoors.
