EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Return from Pig-Sticking in India, 1840s" captures a fascinating moment in British colonial history. Taken in the early 1900s by Charles Stewart Hardinge, this image showcases the British officers' introduction of spear or lance hunting as a method to hunt wild pigs during the era of the British Raj. Intriguingly, this photograph is featured in "The Life and Deeds of Earl Roberts". Volume I, written by J. Maclaren Cobban. The book sheds light on Field Marshal Frederick Sleigh Roberts, also known as Lord Roberts, who played a significant role during the Indian Mutiny. The vibrant color and detail within this image transport us back to that time period. We witness an array of elephants majestically carrying their riders through lush landscapes while they return from their exhilarating pig-sticking adventure. This picture not only highlights the thrilling blood sport aspect but also provides insight into Britain's influence over India and its wildlife during that century. It serves as a testament to both cultural exchange and imperial dominance. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured by Charles Stewart Hardinge, we are reminded of how photography can preserve moments frozen in time for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
