EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in the annals of imperial history, as King George V embarks on a grand shooting expedition in Nepal during December 1911. Seated atop an ornately decorated howdah atop an elephant named Iding, the King is preparing for his next encounter with a Himalayan bear. With a metal rod in front of him serving as a shooting rest, the monarch exudes an air of regal confidence and determination. King George V's visit to Nepal was a significant event in the British colonial era, reflecting the imperial power and influence of the British Empire in India. The King's hunting expeditions were a popular form of sport and pastime among the British aristocracy, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the grandeur and spectacle of such an endeavor. The Nepalese jungle, teeming with exotic wildlife, provides a stunning backdrop to this royal event. The teri, or Nepalese hunters, are seen in the background, dressed in traditional attire and assisting the King in his hunt. The elephant, a symbol of power and strength, adds to the grandeur of the scene. This photograph is a testament to a bygone era, when kings and emperors ruled over vast territories and hunting expeditions were a symbol of power and prestige. It is a fascinating glimpse into the history of imperial Britain and the colonial era in India and Nepal.
