Description:'the trophy shot, such as the famous photograph of Akeley with the leopard he killed with his bare hands... attempts to tell the heroic story of a hunt - and that it was pursued according to the rules of the game - by carefully positioning the hunter, the animal, and often the weapons against a significant setting' (66)
