"In the 1800s, the African ivory trade reached its peak, with elephant tusks from countries like Nigeria being highly sought after for their unique texture and value. This lithograph from Uganda, depicting a caravan crossing a river, illustrates the arduous journey ivory made from the interior of Africa to the coast for export. The intricately patterned texture of an African elephant's tusk, as seen in this image of a calf, was a testament to the natural beauty and worth of these magnificent creatures. The ivory trade during this period, however, led to a significant decline in elephant populations and remains a contentious issue in conservation efforts today." #AfricanIvoryTrade #1800s #ElephantConservation #Nigeria #Uganda #ElephantTexture #LoxodontaAfricana
