EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a colonial hunting party in India during the 1920s. The image, dated 2 February 1923, depicts a group of white men and women dressed in the height of colonial fashion, gathered around a fresh kill. In the foreground, a woman identified as Eva, wears a elegant dress and a stylish cloche hat, while her fiancé, dressed in hunting attire, proudly holds up a rifle with a freshly killed bird perched on its barrel. The other men in the group, all wearing pith helmets or turbans, are seen posing with their rifles and guns, their faces expressing a mix of excitement and satisfaction. The native guides and servants, dressed in traditional Indian attire, can be seen in the background, attending to the hunting party's needs. The scene exudes an air of privilege and adventure, reflecting the colonial mindset of the time, when the British ruled over large parts of Asia and hunting was considered a popular pastime for the ruling class. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the colonial era and the social dynamics of the time.
