EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1898, three intrepid schoolboys stand triumphantly over a fallen rhinoceros on a deserted island. The boys, dressed in shorts and shirts, each hold makeshift bows and arrows, their faces etched with determination and pride. The scene is one of raw survival and bravery, as the trio had hunted and successfully vanquished the massive beast using their improvised weapons. The image captures the essence of adventure and exploration that was so prevalent during the late 19th century. The boys, likely on a school excursion or personal journey of discovery, had encountered the wild and untamed rhinoceros in its natural habitat. With quick thinking and resourcefulness, they were able to turn the tables on the formidable creature, using their packing cases, crates, or boxes as makeshift shields and weapons. The rhinoceros, now upside down and lifeless, lies in the sand, its massive horn and powerful legs a testament to the boys' bravery and skill. The photograph is a reminder of a time when the world was still largely unexplored, and the spirit of adventure and exploration was a driving force in the lives of young and old alike. The image is a historical document of a moment in time, when three ordinary boys became extraordinary heroes in their own right.
