EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable sight of elephants being utilized as draught animals in India during the 19th century. The image, originally a French advertisement for Liebigs extract of meat, provides a glimpse into the colonial era and British Raj in Hindoostan. In this vibrant scene, we witness a male mahout skillfully guiding an elephant-pulled cart along a picturesque road lined with palm trees. The colossal beast of burden effortlessly pulls the loaded cart, highlighting its immense strength and adaptability to various tasks. The photograph not only captures the beauty of nature but also sheds light on the intersection between transportation and occupation. It serves as a testament to how these magnificent creatures played an integral role in road transport during that period. With its vivid colors and attention to detail, this print evokes curiosity about life in colonial India while simultaneously promoting Liebigs canned food products. However, it is important to note that this caption does not endorse or mention any commercial use associated with Baron Justus Freiherr von Liebig's company. Overall, this historical artifact offers us a window into both past practices and cultural exchanges between nations. It stands as a tribute to the ingenuity of mankind and our ability to harness nature's resources for our benefit while also reminding us of our responsibility towards animal welfare.
