EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Who killed the Tiger?" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a dramatic scene in the wild. The print, part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for The Graphic on July 2nd, 1881. The image depicts a vibrant wildlife setting with steel-like skies and a pack of vultures circling above. In the foreground stands Young Biffin, accompanied by a jackal. They seem to be contemplating the aftermath of an intense battle that took place on Easter Monday. The price paid by this majestic tiger is evident in its lifeless body lying at their feet. Its once powerful presence now reduced to mere prey for scavengers. The hunting prowess of tigers is highlighted here as it faced multiple adversaries - from monkeys swinging high up in trees to the latest Griffin and Flint stuffer duo. Amidst this chaotic scene, we witness Mrs Grundy observing from afar alongside flayers and funky characters like Bheel Dhers. Monkeys and macaques also populate this wilderness, reminding us of the diverse range of primates coexisting with other animals. This engraving captures not only the raw beauty but also highlights nature's harsh realities where survival comes at great cost. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a reminder of humanity's complex relationship with wildlife throughout history.
