EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures a heartbreaking moment in the history of Sri Lanka. Taken in 1874, it depicts a captive mother elephant yearning for her escaped calf who had found solace among a spare herd. The engraving, created by an American artist, beautifully portrays the deep sadness etched on the mother's face as she stands behind a fence, separated from her beloved offspring. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the colonial era when elephants were captured and held captive for various purposes. In this particular scene, we witness the emotional toll inflicted upon these majestic creatures due to human intervention. The late 19th century setting is evident through the men depicted in colonial attire, acting as keepers and attempting to control the situation with ropes and fences. Despite their efforts to maintain order, they cannot contain the natural instincts of these intelligent animals. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this historical moment through their collection of prints. This photograph not only showcases Sri Lankan wildlife but also sheds light on our complex relationship with nature during that time period. As we gaze at this image today, let us reflect upon our responsibility towards animal welfare and conservation efforts worldwide. May it serve as a call to protect these magnificent creatures from captivity and preserve their natural habitats for generations to come.
