EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph print titled "SRI LANKA: ELEPHANT CAPTURE. The Alarm" we are transported back to the year 1864, immersing ourselves in a scene of intense anticipation and unity. A group of men, poised with determination, stand ready to assist in capturing an elephant in the lush forests of Sri Lanka. The image captures a moment frozen in time, as these brave individuals prepare for the hunt ahead. Clad in traditional attire, their turbans adding a touch of cultural richness to the scene, they exhibit both respect for their surroundings and reverence for the task at hand. With rifles and shotguns held firmly against their shoulders, these hunters embody a sense of camaraderie as they crouch together mid-action. Their synchronized movements suggest years of experience working together harmoniously amidst nature's unpredictable challenges. This wood engraving transports us into an era when British influence was prominent throughout Sri Lanka under its colonial rule. It serves as a reminder not only of historical events but also highlights humanity's complex relationship with wildlife. As we gaze upon this striking image from Granger Art on Demand by Granger NYC / The Granger Collection, we cannot help but ponder the delicate balance between man and nature that has shaped our world over centuries past.
