Sport on the Upper Reaches of the River Niger - A Thrilling Hunt in 19th Century Africa
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, captures a scene of exhilarating sport on the upper reaches of the River Niger. The illustration was originally featured in The Graphic on March 6,1897. In this action-packed image, we witness a group of skilled hunters embarking on a daring expedition. Armed with bows and arrows, these courageous men navigate their way through dense vegetation as they pursue their prized quarry. Elephants roam majestically alongside giraffes and other wildlife animals that call this untamed region home. The hunters' prowess is evident as they silently paddle their canoes along the river's edge, careful not to disturb or alarm their prey. With remarkable skill and deadly accuracy, arrows are unleashed towards winged creatures overhead or aimed at elephants whose ivory tusks hold great value. Rejoicing fills the air when an animal is successfully wounded or captured. Native tribesmen celebrate each victory with dances and songs while carefully preserving trophies such as hides and feathers for perquisites. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are transported back to a time when hunting was both a means of survival and an exciting sport for those who possessed power and skill. It serves as a reminder of humanity's deep connection with nature and our relentless pursuit to conquer its challenges – even if it meant facing danger amidst Africa's wild landscapes.
