Through the annals of history, ivory tusks have been a coveted commodity, symbolizing wealth and power. From the bustling markets of the Cape Colony and London Docks, to the exotic bazaars of the Mediterranean and the heart of Africa, ivory has been traded for centuries. In the sepia-toned past, elephant tusks graced the windows of stores alongside human skins and other exotic wares. Yet, these magnificent tusks were not just ornaments, but the prized possessions of the majestic African elephants, roaming the savannas of Addo Elephant National Park and the waterways of Botswana. The tales of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, and Phoenician sailors, are intertwined with the history of ivory. However, as we gaze upon these ancient images, we are reminded of the stark contrast between the past and the present. Today, the trade in ivory is a contentious issue, with the survival of elephant populations hanging in the balance. Let us cherish the beauty and majesty of these magnificent creatures, and strive to protect them for future generations to marvel at.
