EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Elefant auf einem Wege bei Kandy, 1926" transports us back to a bygone era in Sri Lanka. Taken from the book "Der Indische Kulturkreis in Einzeldarstellungen" published by Georg Muller in Munich, this image captures the essence of rural life in early 20th century Ceylon. The scene unfolds amidst the rustic charm of a village setting near Kandy. A majestic elephant gracefully strides along a dusty path, its massive presence dominating the frame. The animal's sheer power is juxtaposed against the humble buildings that dot the landscape, reminding us of man's coexistence with nature. Two figures accompany the elephant on its journey - a young boy and an older man. Their attire suggests they are locals going about their daily lives, perhaps guiding or simply admiring this magnificent creature. The monochrome composition adds an air of timelessness to this historic moment frozen in time. As we delve into this photograph, we are transported to another world - one where tradition and simplicity reign supreme. It serves as a poignant reminder of our connection with nature and how it shapes our existence even today. This remarkable print from Heritage Images allows us to glimpse into Sri Lanka's rich cultural heritage while capturing the beauty and harmony between humans and animals that has endured for centuries.
