EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1864, during the era of British colonialism in Sri Lanka. The image showcases a kraal, a traditional enclosure used for captured elephants in Sri Lanka. Standing tall amidst the lush jungle, this kraal holds historical significance as it provides a glimpse into the relationship between man and elephant during that time. The wooden engraving beautifully captures the essence of this scene, with men positioned around the kraal, overseeing these majestic creatures. A viewing stand specifically designed for English visitors adds an intriguing element to this photograph, highlighting their curiosity about exotic wildlife. As we delve deeper into this image, we are transported to Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka), where colonial powers sought control over natural resources and land. This print serves as a reminder of how colonialism impacted not only human lives but also animal habitats. Granger Art on Demand has skillfully preserved this piece of history through their collection. It allows us to reflect upon our past and raises questions about conservation efforts today. Let us cherish these glimpses into our shared heritage while striving towards a future where humans coexist harmoniously with nature's magnificent creations like elephants in their natural habitat - free from captivity or exploitation.
