| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dramatic African savanna hunting scene in which two hunters — one standing and aiming a rifle, the other kneeling beside him — confront a large African bull elephant charging toward them in the left field. The elephant is rendered in full applied colour, its massive form with prominent tusks and raised trunk dominating the right portion of the composition, while the hunters and background landscape remain in uncoloured relief. Tall grasses and a distant treeline provide a naturalistic setting, emphasizing the scale and tension of the encounter. |
