Icon Hunter
The Icon Hunter in fact is a thought-provoking pastime. This blog can be a source of raw information for students in many disciplines (art history, iconology, philosophy, psychology etc). The Icon Hunter shows different elements' relationships in the visual culture. In every part there will be pictures of the given theme.
Thank you for visiting my blog.

Bengal Tiger hunting by the English upper-class in British India in 1903.
This photo shows Lord Curzon, the viceroy of India, posing with his wife,
an American heiress to millions, near Hyderabad in April 1902 with his bag.
He was an excellent hunter who was particularly fond of tiger hunting.
