EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic presence of Pawah, an Albino/White Burmese Elephant, accompanied by his attendants including Dr. Saw Po Min at London Zoo in May 1926. The image showcases the rare beauty of this extraordinary creature as it stands tall within its enclosure. Pawah's journey from Taungoo, Burma to America was a significant event that attracted attention worldwide. In 1927, John Ringling, a renowned American circus director, would lease Pawah for his circus. Guiding this remarkable elephant on its voyage was Dr. Saw Po Min, President of the Loyal Karen Association of Burma. Born in the wild in 1918, Pawah represents not only a unique specimen but also symbolizes the rich history and cultural significance associated with these magnificent creatures. The photograph allows us to witness firsthand the awe-inspiring presence of an albino elephant amidst its attentive entourage. The composition beautifully captures every detail - from Pawah's striking white coat to his powerful stance and gentle expression. This historical image serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with nature's wonders and our desire to preserve them for future generations. As we gaze upon this timeless photograph captured by Frederick William Bond, we are reminded of the importance of conservation efforts and our responsibility towards protecting these incredible animals who continue to captivate our hearts and minds.
