EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Sport in India, a Days Duck-Shooting in Oude" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into an adventurous day of hunting in the Indian region of Oude. The scene is filled with excitement and anticipation as we witness English sportsmen engaging in this popular pastime. The image showcases a picturesque lake surrounded by lush vegetation, providing the perfect setting for duck-shooting. A group of men can be seen on boats, their eyes fixed on the sky as they wait for their feathered targets to appear. The air is filled with calls and shouts as they signal each other about the arrival of ducks. At the stern of one boat stands a valiant Jemmadar, superintending operations and recounting his previous diving exploits during hunting expeditions. Another boat transports ammunition and serves as cover for shooting from afar. In true Nawabi style, this sporting event combines leisure with adventure. The hunters are accompanied by servants who assist them throughout the day – from transportation to loading guns – ensuring that every aspect is taken care of. This engraving not only captures a moment frozen in time but also offers us insight into Indian culture during this period. It reminds us that sport has always been an integral part of human history, transcending borders and bringing people together through shared experiences like these thrilling days spent duck-shooting in Oude.
