EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the exterior and interior of Prince Ranjitsinhji of Nawanagar's portable shooting-box, a remarkable piece of equipment used during his hunting expeditions in the Indian jungles during the early 1900s. The exterior of the shooting-box, with its intricate woodcarvings and regal design, reflects the prince's status and wealth. The shooting-box, which could be transported by rail to any given point in the jungle, could also be moved by oxen or elephants using a trolley, making it an essential tool for his mobile hunting expeditions. Upon entering the shooting-box, one is greeted by the interior's meticulously designed space, which is both functional and elegant. The walls are lined with a rich, red fabric, and the floor is covered with a thick, plush carpet. A large, ornate mirror reflects the prince's image as he prepares for his hunt, while a small table holds a selection of hunting essentials, including a rifle, ammunition, and a jam jar for preserving wild game. Prince Ranjitsinhji, also known as Vibhaji Jadeja, was a renowned ruler and sportsman, known for his passion for hunting and his exceptional skills. His portable shooting-box allowed him to pursue his love of the sport in the wildest and most remote corners of the Indian jungle, providing him with the perfect combination of comfort and convenience. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the life of a princely ruler during the early 1900s and the exotic world of hunting expeditions in the Indian jungle. The shooting-box, with its intricate design and rich history, stands as a testament to the prince's love for the sport and his determination to pursue it in the most authentic and adventurous way possible.
