EDITORS COMMENTS
C.R's" evocative sketch captures a moment in time as HRH Prince Albert Edward, the future King Edward VII, takes a break from his hunting expedition in the Terai region of Nepal in 1876. Surrounded by his hunting party, the Prince sits atop a large boulder, enjoying his tiffin, or midday meal, amidst the lush jungle landscape. Dressed in full hunting attire, complete with pith helmet and beard, the Prince exudes an air of imperial confidence. Accompanied by renowned special artist, William Simpson, the Prince's hunting party was fully equipped for the chase of the region's fierce wild beasts. Simpson was granted exclusive permission to document the expedition for the Illustrated London News, providing the British public with a glimpse into the Prince's adventures in Hindustan. The Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, was known for his love of the outdoors and his hunting prowess. This image captures the essence of a bygone era, where the pursuit of game and exploration of new territories were markers of imperial power and prestige. The photograph, reminiscent of an al fresco painting, transports us back to a time when the great outdoors served as a backdrop for the exploits of the British monarchy. The Prince's lunchtime reprieve in the Terai jungle stands as a testament to the adventurous spirit of the 19th century, a time when the British Empire reached its zenith and the world seemed ripe for discovery. This image offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the legacy of imperialism and the enduring allure of the great outdoors.
