what I mean is not the big cat in middle,but the two in the margin. I believe you have a similar development with pictures from elephants in the time between 1850 and 1900. the picture of an animal goes in this time from a naiv to a photographic exact manner.this dont mean that you are not able to recognice a tiger as a tiger. the naive style try to show the characteristic feature's of this animal. if the gun was made for an idian custumer it seem me clear that this was the rigth way because its more relative with the culture the people live and think.
you must say that it lost much of its quality now when you have shooting down 300 kb but its good that you are able to post it. I hope the gentleman here enjoi it.
