EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'The Prince of Wales in the Terai: Mr. Rose chased by a Wild Elephant,' is a testament to the thrilling adventures that defined the British Raj in the late 19th century. The future King Edward VII, then Prince of Wales, is depicted in the heat of the moment during an elephant hunting expedition in the Terai region of India. In the sketch, created by a special artist for the Illustrated London News in 1876, we see the Prince and his suite in their distinctive pith helmets, dressed in hunting apparel, galloping towards an enraged Indian elephant. The elephant, with only a stump remaining from its left tusk, charges at the group, its eyes filled with anger and fury. Among the riders, Mr. Rose, one of the Prince's men, finds himself in a perilous situation as the elephant's trunk nearly reaches him. The dramatic scene encapsulates the sense of danger and excitement that surrounded the British Raj during this period, as imperial powers sought to assert their dominance over the Indian subcontinent. This evocative engraving offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the British monarchy and its subjects embraced the challenges of the wild, the unpredictability of nature, and the thrill of the hunt. The image serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural exchange that took place during the British Raj, a chapter in history that continues to fascinate and inspire.
