EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 1890s, captures the remarkable sight of elephants at work in Sri Lanka. The image transports us back in time to an era when these majestic animals were still employed for labor-intensive tasks in the tropical forests of the island nation. The scene unfolds in the lush greenery of the Sri Lankan wilderness, where two elephants, with their powerful bodies and long, curved tusks, are making light work of a massive tree trunk. Their dexterity and strength are on full display as they use their trunks to lift, maneuver, and move the heavy log with ease. The intricate network of ropes and pulleys, used to aid their efforts, adds an extra layer of intrigue to the image. The history of elephants being used for labor in Sri Lanka dates back thousands of years, with evidence suggesting their use in forestry and agriculture as early as the 3rd century BC. However, this practice began to decline in the late 19th and early 20th centuries due to the increasing availability of modern machinery. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when man and beast worked together in harmony to harness the power of nature. The serene expression on the faces of the mahouts (elephant handlers) and the gentle gaze of the elephants themselves, add a sense of tranquility to the scene. The warm sunlight filtering through the dense foliage and casting dappled shadows on the forest floor, further enhances the enchanting atmosphere. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, is not only a testament to the rich history of Sri Lanka but also a celebration of the unique bond between man and elephant.
