1872 Wood Engraving Art Antelope Cheetah Hunting India Asia Animals YTG4
"Sketches from India - Antelope Hunting" This is an original 1872 black and white in-text wood engraving of artwork that portrayed a pair of scenes from a traditional antelope hunt in India during the Victorian Era. Apparently, these Indian sportsmen had the ingenious idea of training cheetahs to do the hunting for them. I guess this is another way to order "fast food".
