What a waste!
According to movies.nytimes.com/movie/236617/Rainey-African-Hunt/overview "Filmed in 1912 and released in 1913, the multi-reel documentary ‘Paul J. Rainey’s African Hunt’ proved a huge success for its distributor, Carl Laemmle. Many historians have suggested that the profits from the film enabled Laemmle to establish Universal Pictures, an entertainment enterprise that continues to flourish to the present day. In 1914, a second series of Rainey travelogues were released under the title ‘Rainey African Hunt’ and again photographed by John Hemment."
lccn.loc.gov/2002736523 seems to be a still from the movie.
From page 29 of the Annual Report of the American Museum of Natural History (the Smithsonian) for 1913: "The Museum is fortunate in enjoying the continued interest of Mr. Paul J. Rainey, who has presented several specimens of big game animals from British East Africa. Mr. Rainey has also presented to the Museum a complete set of the series of motion picture film negatives of his recent African hunt."

here is an article from the internet about Rainey:

This article mentions that many of his animal "trophies" ended up at the Pink Palace Museum in Memphis, more about that museum here:

He died on his birthday, at age 46, buried at sea. According to rumor or legend his death was foretold after he insulted another passenger on the ship he was on…
Hi, I’m an admin for a group called Pith Helmets, and we’d love to have this added to the group!
I hate to see animals needlessly murdered like this.
this is despicable !
it’s hard to imagine how plentiful big game animals must have been in the wild at the time. hopefully we won’t be saying that about squirrels and robins in another 100 years (but perhaps not due to hunting)…

the measure of manhood?
