Framed Print of Prince Albert Victor in India: hunting Black Buck with cheetah at Hyderabad, 1890. Creator: Unknown
Prince Albert Victor in India: hunting Black Buck with cheetah at Hyderabad, 1890. Some account has already been given of the visit of Prince Albert Victor of Wales to the Nizam of Hyderabad, a few days after his arrival at Bombay...and it was mentioned that his Royal Highness had an opportunity of seeing the pastime of hunting by the aid of a "cheetah" or tame leopard, which is peculiar to Central India. This is the subject of an Illustration supplied by our Special Artist's sketch of that kind of sport, which has frequently been described. The cheetah, which is a tawny-coloured beast, smaller than the ordinary leopard or panther, and of a less ferocious disposition, is bred and trained for the amusement of Native Princes. They use this animal on the plains very much as they would use a hawk, trained to serve its master by flight and pursuit of game in the air. Blindfolded, the cheetah is brought in a cart to within sight of a herd of deer, gazelles, or black buck; the hood is then removed, and the cheetah springs forth to chase and capture the game, in which it seldom fails. The hunters then ride up, and coax or compel the cheetah to surrender its prey to them, on the "sic vos non vobis principle of dealing with serviceable brutes'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
