EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1921, several men from Sri Lanka (then known as Ceylon) are seen interacting with a baby elephant in a lush, tropical setting. The men, dressed in traditional clothing, appear to be in awe of the young elephant, as they reach out to touch and gently caress its wrinkled skin. The elephant, with its large, curious eyes and playful demeanor, seems to trust and enjoy the company of these humans. The scene takes place amidst a backdrop of lush, green trees, providing a serene and idyllic atmosphere. The men and the elephant seem to exist in harmony, highlighting the deep connection between humans and these gentle giants in Sri Lanka. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Sri Lanka during the 1920s. Elephants have held a significant place in the lives of the people of Sri Lanka for centuries, both as a source of livelihood and as a symbol of reverence. The country is renowned for its elephant population, which is the largest in Asia outside of India. The 1920s were an era of change and progress in Sri Lanka, with the British colonial rule coming to an end and the country moving towards independence. This photograph captures a moment of simple joy and connection between the people and the natural world, reminding us of the beauty and richness of Sri Lanka's past. This photograph is a testament to the deep bond between humans and elephants, and a reminder of the importance of preserving this unique relationship for future generations. It is a beautiful and poignant image that transports us to a time and place of wonder and enchantment.
