EDITORS COMMENTS
Close Quarters with a Tiger: An Exciting Moment from the Duc D'Orléans' Hunting Expedition in India, 1889 This photograph captures a thrilling moment from the Duc D'Orléans' hunting tour in India during the late 1880s. The Duc D'Orléans, a prominent French nobleman and avid hunter, embarked on an expedition to India in search of the elusive and majestic tiger. In this image, the Duc D'Orléans is seen in close quarters with a tiger, having successfully shot the big game from atop an elephant. The tiger, with its powerful muscles and sharp claws, is shown in a defensive stance, ready to pounce. The Duc D'Orléans, wearing a hunting jacket and holding a rifle, appears calm and composed, having expertly executed the hunt. The photograph also showcases the unique hunting methods of the time, with the Duc D'Orléans riding an elephant and using a howdah, a wooden platform mounted on the elephant's back, for a better vantage point. Elephants were commonly used during big game hunts in India, providing hunters with the necessary height and mobility to track and shoot their prey. This photograph is a testament to the thrill and excitement of hunting expeditions during the late 1800s, and the close encounter with a tiger underscores the danger and adventure that came with such pursuits. The image is a front cover worthy moment from the Duc D'Orléans' hunting tour in India, 1889.
