EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the majestic presence of two Indian elephants belonging to the Rajah of Puttiala in the year 1884. The intricately detailed illustration showcases the grandeur and power of these magnificent creatures, with their large, wrinkled ears, long, curved tusks, and massive, gray bodies. The elephant in the foreground, however, holds a significant place in history. At the time, this elephant caused a great controversy due to its striking similarity to an Indian elephant owned by the famous American showman, P.T. Barnum. The issue arose when Barnum's elephant, named Jumbo, was acquired by the London Zoo, leading to accusations that the Rajah of Puttiala had sold his elephant to Barnum without consent. Despite the controversy, the Rajah's elephants continued to be a source of pride and prestige for him and his kingdom. The import of elephants from India was a common practice among the wealthy and powerful during the colonial era, and these animals were often used for various purposes, including religious ceremonies, transportation, and as symbols of power. This engraving serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of elephants in Indian society, as well as the complex and often contentious relationships between colonial powers and native rulers during the late 19th century. The Rajah of Puttiala's elephants, and the controversy surrounding them, are a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era, offering insights into the interplay of power, wealth, and cultural exchange.
