EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing and captivating photograph taken in the late 1870s, showcasing the stunning beauty of the Himalayan landscape and the thrill of hunting in the region. The photograph is taken from the book "Illustrated Travels" by Henry Walter Bates, published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London. The image portrays the Upper Course of the Jumna River, also known as the Yamuna, as it winds through the rugged terrain of the Himalayas. The river, a major tributary that flows into the Ganges, is depicted with its crystal-clear waters reflecting the majestic mountains in the background. The mountains, with their snow-capped peaks and lush greenery, dominate the scene, creating a breathtaking vista that leaves one in awe of nature's grandeur. The photograph also captures a group of British hunters in the foreground, engaged in a black bear shooting expedition. The hunters, dressed in their hunting gear, are seen aiming their rifles at the black bear, which is shown in the act of charging towards them. The contrast between the serene landscape and the excitement of the hunt adds an element of adventure and thrill to the image. The photograph is a testament to the exploratory spirit of the British during the colonial era, who were drawn to the exotic lands of India and the Himalayas to discover new territories and experiences. The image also highlights the cultural exchange between the British and the local population, as evidenced by the presence of Indian people in the background, who are shown observing the hunt. Overall, "View of the Upper Course of the Jumna: Black Bear Shooting in the Himalayas," is a captivating photograph that transports us to a bygone era and offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of India and the Himalayas.
