EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Shooting Rhinoceros; Life in a South African Colony, 1875" takes us back to the untamed landscapes of 19th century Africa. The creator remains unknown, but their skillful capture transports us to a time when danger and adventure were intertwined. In this dramatic scene, we witness a group of European hunters on horseback chasing after a majestic rhinoceros. Armed with guns and determination, these men embody the spirit of exploration and conquest that characterized the era. The sheer size and power of the rhino is evident as its horn stands tall against the backdrop of an African continent still largely unexplored by outsiders. The image not only showcases the perilous profession of hunting during that time but also sheds light on the occupation's impact on both man and beast. It serves as a reminder of how Europeans ventured into foreign lands armed with weapons, engaging in warfare against nature itself. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from Illustrated Travels by H. W. Bates, published by Cassell Petter Galpin Co. , we are transported to an era where humans sought dominance over wild creatures like never before. This print encapsulates both awe-inspiring beauty and unsettling consequences - it is a testament to our complex relationship with nature throughout history.
