Group photograph with tiger. Back row, from left to right: Major General Lord Alfred Paget, the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, Major General Sir Sam Browne, Major Edward Bradford. Seated: Mr Sidney Hall, the Earl of Aylesford, Captain Lord Carrington.
The photograph was taken on the day the Prince killed the tiger, Saturday 5 February 1876. The event was described in Dr Fayrer's journal from the tour, and the taking of the photograph was also mentioned: 'Before dark the tigress was brought in, laid out on the terrace and photographed, with the Prince and those of his suite who were with him when he killed it' (p.108).

In an effort to strengthen diplomatic relations between the Indian rulers and the British Crown, Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, the eldest son of Queen Victoria, embarked on a tour of the Indian subcontinent in October 1875. The Prince visited 21 towns and cities across parts of modern-day India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Nepal, where he exchanged and received gifts from each ruler he met during his tour. The Prince returned to England in May 1876. As a result of the visit, six photographic albums were compiled of portraits, groups and views. Some of the photographs were commercial prints already available; others were specially taken to commemorate the tour.
