EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1907, we are transported to the lush landscapes of Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka). The image showcases a majestic elephant taking charge, skillfully herding a massive herd of elephants towards a serene river for a much-needed drink. The sheer power and grace exuded by these gentle giants is truly awe-inspiring. As they traverse through the dense foliage, their enormous size becomes even more apparent against the backdrop of towering trees. The sepia tones add an air of nostalgia, reminding us that this scene belongs to another era. Located in Kandy, Ceylon's cultural capital, this snapshot captures not only the natural beauty but also the harmonious coexistence between humans and wildlife. A group of men can be seen observing from afar, perhaps marveling at nature's spectacle or simply going about their daily lives alongside these magnificent creatures. This stereograph print serves as a time capsule from turn-of-the-century Ceylon - an era when life moved at a slower pace and where encounters with such extraordinary scenes were cherished moments frozen in time. It invites us to reflect on our relationship with nature and reminds us of the importance of preserving such delicate ecosystems for future generations to appreciate. Granger Art on Demand has once again brought history alive through this remarkable photograph that encapsulates both the grandeur of nature and humanity's place within it.
