EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Sport in Cashmere" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into a thrilling hunting expedition in India's picturesque region of Kashmir. The print showcases an array of exciting activities that were popular among British sportsmen during that era. In this scene, we witness the triumphant moment of a successful stalk and skinning by an English hunter. His expertise is evident as he proudly displays his prized catch - an ibex, known for its majestic horns and agile nature. Nearby, another daring adventurer engages in snow bear hunting, showcasing the diversity of wildlife found in this breathtaking landscape. The enchanting beauty of Cashmere (Kashmir) serves as the backdrop for these exhilarating pursuits. Its snow-capped mountains and lush valleys provide the perfect setting for those seeking adventure amidst nature's bounty. As we delve deeper into this artwork, we are transported to a machan - a traditional Indian hunting platform perched high above ground level. From here, hunters would patiently wait for their chance to engage with their prey. This image not only captures the thrill of sport but also offers insights into Indian culture and traditions. Overall, this print from Bridgeman Images encapsulates both the excitement and cultural significance associated with hunting expeditions in 19th-century India. It serves as a reminder of how art can transport us through time and space while providing valuable glimpses into historical moments.
