Scope and Content
Photograph/illustration of a man standing with a gaur in a paddock next to a barn in the early 20th century. The text above the image notes that 'there is only one specimen of this animal, the gaur (or bison, as Anglo-Indian sportsmen call it), in captivity in Europe, and perhaps the world. It belongs to Captain D. Patton Bethune, who brought it home from Malaya, where it is known as the Sladang.'
