EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Big game hunting in Africa" captures a poignant moment in the wild. The image showcases the heartbreaking aftermath of a hunt, revealing the true cost of big game hunting. In the foreground, we witness an orphaned elephant refusing to leave its mother's lifeless body, shot by none other than President Theodore Roosevelt himself. The scene is both haunting and powerful, evoking a range of emotions within us. We cannot help but feel sadness for this young elephant as it mourns its loss, highlighting the deep bond between mother and child in the animal kingdom. The contrast between innocence and cruelty becomes starkly evident as we observe this tragic event unfold. Accompanying this heart-wrenching sight is another hunter posing triumphantly beside a dead hippopotamus. This juxtaposition further emphasizes the conflicting attitudes towards wildlife that existed during that time period. Through this colour litho artwork created by French School artists for Le Petit Parisien newspaper in 1909, we are confronted with questions about our relationship with nature and our responsibility towards preserving it. It serves as a reminder of how actions driven by sport can have devastating consequences on vulnerable species. This thought-provoking piece from Bridgeman Images invites us to reflect upon our treatment of animals and urges us to consider more compassionate approaches to coexisting with them in their natural habitats.
