EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Elephant Capture, 1874" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases a group of Sri Lankans leading a captive elephant along a dusty road. It is evident that this scene represents the colonial era, as it was created by an American artist in the late 19th century. The composition exudes both power and vulnerability. The massive size of the elephant contrasts with the delicate figures of the Sri Lankan men who bravely guide it forward. One man can be seen riding atop the majestic creature, displaying his mastery over such an awe-inspiring beast. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to Sri Lanka during a time when capturing elephants held great importance for various purposes – from transportation to labor-intensive work.
