EDITORS COMMENTS
Start of the African hunting season, 1931: A Controversial Snapshot of Wildlife and Human Interaction". This print captures a moment frozen in time - the start of the African hunting season in 1931. The creator remains unknown, but their lens offers us a glimpse into an era where big game hunting was not only accepted but celebrated. In this powerful image, we witness a group of men proudly displaying their conquests. Standing tall beside them is a lifeless lion, its majestic presence now reduced to nothing more than a trophy. Elephants loom in the background, reminding us of the endangered species that were once hunted for sport. The scene unfolds against the backdrop of Africa's vast wilderness, with an ostrich peering curiously from behind. A covered wagon rests nearby as if symbolizing both transportation and escape from civilization's constraints. While some may view this photograph as an emblematic representation of adventure and exploration during that era, others find it deeply troubling due to animal cruelty concerns. It serves as a reminder that our relationship with wildlife has evolved over time. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece from Le Petit Journal Illustre - France's renowned newspaper at the time - let us reflect on how far we have come since then. May it inspire conversations about conservation efforts and ethical treatment towards animals today while acknowledging our complex history with nature.
