EDITORS COMMENTS
My Indian Hunting Trophies, c. 1870s" captures a haunting glimpse into the colonial era of British India. This photograph, taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, showcases a collection of spoils from blood sports. The image reveals a tent adorned with various hunting trophies - skulls, heads, horns, and antlers - all proudly displayed as symbols of conquest. These macabre souvenirs serve as reminders of the power dynamics at play during this time. In the foreground stands an Indian servant, his presence highlighting the stark contrast between colonizer and colonized. His role in assisting these hunts is evident but overshadowed by the dominance exerted by his British masters. This photograph offers insight into both the fascination with hunting prevalent among colonial powers and their desire to assert control over foreign lands. It serves as a visual testament to the imperialistic mindset that prevailed during this period. From its private collection origins in Warham, Sussex under C. E. Lucas's ownership to its current status out of copyright protection, this image invites contemplation on themes such as exploitation and cultural appropriation. "My Indian Hunting Trophies" encapsulates not only historical documentation but also prompts reflection on our relationship with power dynamics and how they have shaped our understanding of past events.
