EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "ELEPHANT LABOR, 1874" takes us back to the late 19th century in Sri Lanka. The image showcases the incredible strength and resilience of an elephant as it hauls timber along a dusty road. Engraved by an American artist in 1874, this piece captures a significant aspect of colonial life on the island. In this scene, we witness men working alongside the majestic creature, guiding it with ropes and riding on its back. The collaboration between man and beast is evident as they navigate through challenging terrain to transport valuable timber for various purposes. This engraving provides us with a glimpse into the laborious tasks undertaken during that era. The historical context surrounding this artwork sheds light on Sri Lanka's rich history under colonial rule. It serves as a reminder of how elephants played an integral role in shaping industries such as logging during that time period. As we admire this remarkable piece from Granger Art on Demand, we are transported to a different era where human-animal partnerships were essential for survival and progress. Let us appreciate the dedication and hard work put forth by both humans and elephants alike in their pursuit of progress and development within Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka).
