EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a daring moment in history, where European photographers captured the thrill and risks of trapping an African lion with nets. The image, taken by an anonymous 19th-century photographer, is now part of a private collection. The intensity of the scene is palpable as we witness the brave heroes attempting to capture one of nature's most majestic beasts alive. This photograph was later used as an illustration for "Recent Heroes of Modern Adventure" by T. C. Bridges and H. Hessell Tiltman, published in 1932. Trapping an African lion with nets required immense courage and skill, showcasing these individuals as true heroes of their time. The wildness and power emanating from this magnificent creature are juxtaposed against the delicate intricacy of the netting technique employed by these adventurers. As we delve into this historical moment frozen in time, we cannot help but marvel at both the danger faced by those capturing such wild animals and our own fascination with them. This image serves as a reminder that throughout history humans have sought thrills through encounters with untamed creatures like lions. Now preserved within Look and Learn's archives, this out-of-copyright photograph allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its significance in documenting past adventures that shaped our understanding of wildlife conservation today.
