EDITORS COMMENTS
His Excellency: A Working Elephant in Sri Lanka, circa 1910s This photograph showcases the majestic and powerful presence of a working elephant named Excellency in the lush greenery of Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon. The image, taken in the early 1900s, depicts the elephant as a vital mode of transport in the forested regions of this beautiful island nation. The elephant, adorned with intricately woven garlands and ornaments, displays a regal demeanor as it carries its rider with ease and grace. The rider, dressed in traditional attire, sits confidently atop the animal's broad back, holding the reins with a steady hand. The palm trees and dense forest in the background add to the serene and idyllic setting, creating a scene reminiscent of a bygone era. Working elephants have been an integral part of Sri Lankan culture and history for centuries. They were used extensively for various purposes, including transportation, agriculture, and religious ceremonies. The Indian elephant (Elephas maximus) is the largest living land animal in Sri Lanka and is considered a national symbol and a source of pride for the people. Despite their historical significance, the population of working elephants in Sri Lanka has been declining due to habitat loss, poaching, and human-elephant conflict. Efforts are being made to protect and conserve these magnificent creatures, ensuring their continued presence in the rich cultural and natural heritage of Sri Lanka.
