Cambodia: A sketch of a deer killed by a tiger in the jungle north of Siem Reap. Illustration by Alphonse-Marie-Adolphe de Neuville (1836-1885), 1867. This drawing by A. de Neuville is based on an original by Louis Delaporte which was sketched during the French Mekong Exploration Commission's two-year venture (1866-68) into the jungles of Indochina. The deer was slain in front of their eyes by the tiger. The French colonialists fired off a couple of shots and drove the animal away, then cut off the stag's hindquarters and carried it to Siem Reap where the meat was salted.
