EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Elephant Kraaling in Ceylon" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment of both awe and tension. The image showcases a secure stockade where wild elephants are being safely driven into captivity. The English photographer skillfully captures the struggle between man and beast as noosed elephants resist their confinement. The vastness of the landscape provides a breathtaking view, reminding us of the untamed beauty that surrounds this scene. As beaters surround the captured elephants, one can't help but feel conflicted about witnessing such an event. On one hand, it represents loss of freedom for these majestic creatures; on the other hand, it highlights human ingenuity in managing wildlife populations. Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka) serves as the backdrop for this photograph, adding an exotic touch to its narrative. This image is part of "The Hundred Best Views of Ceylon" a collection that aimed to showcase the diverse landscapes and cultural heritage of this Asian island nation. Through this powerful composition, we are transported back in time to witness an important aspect of history – elephant kraaling – which played a significant role in shaping relationships between humans and animals during that era. It serves as a reminder that our interactions with nature have evolved over time and continue to shape our understanding of conservation today.
