EDITORS COMMENTS
The Graphic, Front Cover Saturday May 17, 1890" is an intriguing black and white print showcasing a captivating scene from the Victorian era. The image, created by an unknown artist for "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper," depicts a royal hunting party in full swing in India during the late 19th century. At the heart of the scene, Prince George, later King George V of Britain, and his companions are engaged in an elephant hunt. The Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, stands proudly atop an elephant, aiming a rifle at the massive pachyderm, which is being goaded forward by mahouts. The Prince wears a traditional hunting outfit, complete with a pith helmet and a thick mustache. Beside the elephant, a tiger lies tranquil, having been recently hunted and skinned. The lifeless animal's stripes are meticulously rendered, highlighting the artist's skill in capturing the intricacies of the natural world. In the background, a group of men and women, dressed in Victorian attire, watch the scene unfold. Some are in awe, while others appear disturbed by the sight of the animal cruelty. The title "Hindoostan" is inscribed at the top of the cover, indicating the location of the hunt in India. The image is a poignant reminder of the era's colonial past and the complex relationship between the British monarchy and the natural world. The print offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a unique perspective on the history of animal hunting and royalty during the Victorian era. This front cover from "The Graphic" is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of Britain, royalty, or the natural world. The image is a testament to the power of photography and the enduring allure of the past.
