EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - King George V shooting tigers during his visit to India in 1911. The image showcases the monarch's adventurous spirit as he engages in tiger hunting, a popular recreational activity of the time. The photograph is taken from a larger collection titled "King Emperors Jubilee, 1910-1935" published by FGH Salusbury and Daily Express Publications in London in 1935. It provides us with a glimpse into the royal visit to India, specifically the Delhi Durbar held to commemorate their coronation. In this striking image, we see King George V dressed in military uniform, holding a rifle while standing on an elephant. His wife Queen Mary accompanies him on this thrilling expedition. The couple's presence reflects not only their love for leisure activities but also their role as representatives of the British Empire. The photo encapsulates both the power dynamics between Britain and its colonies during that era and highlights the leisure pursuits enjoyed by royalty. It serves as a reminder of how different times were then compared to today. As we observe this historical snapshot, it prompts contemplation about colonialism, wildlife conservation efforts over time, and our evolving attitudes towards hunting practices. This intriguing piece offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon these complex themes within the context of early 20th-century British rule in India.
