EDITORS COMMENTS
The Tiger At Bay, from 'Oriental Field Sports', captures a thrilling moment in the wild as an awe-inspiring tiger confronts its adversaries. This print, published by Edward Orme in 1807, showcases the incredible talent of Samuel Howett, renowned for his ability to bring life and energy to his artwork. In this scene, we witness a fierce battle between man and beast. The majestic tiger stands defiantly on hind legs while facing off against a formidable opponent - an elephant armed with a spear-wielding rider. Both sides are prepared for combat; the hunter gripping his gun tightly as he awaits the perfect opportunity to strike. The intensity of this encounter is palpable through Howett's masterful brushstrokes. Every muscle of the tiger's body is taut with power and determination, while its piercing gaze reveals both strength and vulnerability. The artist expertly captures the raw beauty and ferocity of nature at its most primal. This extraordinary piece transports us back to an era when hunting expeditions were not only about survival but also celebrated as sport. It serves as a reminder of mankind's complex relationship with wildlife throughout history – one that encompasses admiration, fear, and ultimately our desire to conquer or coexist. As we admire this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded once again of humanity's eternal fascination with nature’s untamed wonders.
