EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Russian imperial hunting party of 1890. In the foreground, we see three distinguished figures: Prince Alexander Vladimirovich Bariatinski, Prince Ivan Mikhailovich Obolenski, and Prince Nicholas Alexandrovich Romanov, who was then the Tsarevitch or heir to the Russian throne. Standing proudly with their trophy, a majestic leopard that they have successfully hunted down during their visit to India. The hunt took place on December 28th near Ellora while the princes were visiting the Nizam of Hyderabad under British Raj rule. This remarkable artwork is featured in volume seven of La Science Illustree, a popular French science weekly from 1891. The image not only showcases an impressive group portrait but also provides insights into historical geography and culture. It transports us back to a time when big game hunting was considered an important activity for royalty and serves as a testament to their power and influence. As we delve into this monochrome masterpiece, we are reminded of both the beauty and brutality of nature. The juxtaposition between man and wild animal creates a thought-provoking narrative about our relationship with wildlife. Overall, this photograph offers us a glimpse into an era long gone by - where adventure met tradition amidst lush tropical jungles - leaving us captivated by its historical significance and artistic allure.
