Created by Amedee Forestier in 1888, this print offers a glimpse into an extraordinary scene captured for The Illustrated London News. In this artwork, we find ourselves immersed in the bustling streets of Berbera, located on the African coast of the Gulf of Aden. The image showcases a lively party embarking on an elephant-hunting expedition, led by Mr. Walter Ingram and Mr. Morrison.
