-
Genre: Portrait Photography
The family posed outside their hut. 'Bommay Gouda is a man of about fifty-five years of age. He is of good caste, being a Shivachar or Lingayet, and lives by cultivation and breeding and selling cattle. Of all the cheery jungle-companions I know Bommay Gouda stands first. He has literally lived among animals all his life and possesses the most consummate knowledge of their habits, but the tiger and elephant are his chief game' (George P. Sanderson, Thirteen years ... (London, 1878)).
