EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "ELEPHANT SHOOTING, 1874" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases a scene of men shooting spare elephants within a corral, all with the intention of controlling the population in Sri Lanka during the late colonial era. The engraving, created by an American artist in 1874, captures the intensity and urgency surrounding this practice. The fence enclosing the corral serves as a stark reminder of how humans sought to exert control over nature during that time period. While it may be difficult for some viewers to witness such an act today, it is important to understand the context and historical significance behind this photograph. At that time, managing elephant populations was seen as necessary for various reasons including protecting crops and ensuring human safety. This image from Granger Art on Demand allows us to reflect upon our relationship with wildlife throughout history. It prompts us to consider how our understanding and approach towards conservation has evolved over time. As we gaze at this powerful visual representation, let's appreciate its ability to transport us back in time while also reminding us of the importance of responsible stewardship towards our planet's magnificent creatures.
