EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Bear Hunting in Cashmere, a Run for Life" takes us back to the thrilling world of hunting in 19th century India. Created by John Charlton and now part of a private collection, this print was originally featured in The Graphic on October 5,1895. The scene depicted is one of intense action and danger as hunters find themselves face-to-face with ferocious black bears amidst the rugged landscapes of Kashmir. With barrels vented and rifles ready, these brave shikaris scramble over rocks and rough terrain to escape the wrath of their formidable prey. In this heart-pounding chase, shots are fired and wounds inflicted on both sides. The wounded bears drop behind while others bolt ahead, leaving trails of bloodshed behind them. The hunters' turbans symbolize their Indian identity as they navigate through this treacherous pursuit. This artwork not only showcases the adrenaline-fueled sport of bear hunting but also highlights the resilience and courage required to survive such encounters with wild animals. It serves as a reminder that even in an era when medical science was limited, injuries sustained during hunts were treated using traditional medicine practices like those associated with Asclepius or Asklepios - ancient Greek gods associated with healing. "Bear Hunting in Cashmere, a Run for Life" captures an important aspect of Indian culture while shedding light on the delicate balance between humans and wildlife. It stands as a testament to our fascination with nature's raw power and our relentless pursuit to
