EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Elephants Rolling Timber" takes us back to the 19th century in British-ruled Burma (now Myanmar). The image, captured by an anonymous British photographer, showcases the lumber industry of that era with a touch of awe-inspiring animal power. In this remarkable scene, we witness a group of majestic Indian elephants skillfully maneuvering tree trunks. These intelligent creatures effortlessly balance on top of the logs as if they were riding them. Their immense strength and cooperation are evident as they work together to move these heavy timbers. The photograph is part of an album compiled by Lord Henry Rawlinson during his time as a Lieutenant on Sir Frederick Sleigh Roberts' staff between 1886 and 1888. It offers us a glimpse into the daily lives of those involved in logging during the Third Burma War. Beyond its historical significance, this image highlights the symbiotic relationship between humans and animals in accomplishing arduous tasks. It serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and nature's incredible capabilities. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate not only the beauty but also reflect upon our responsibility towards wildlife conservation. This stunning photograph reminds us that every creature has its role to play in shaping our world's history and future.
