EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures a moment in history that is both fascinating and troubling. Taken in February 1933, the image shows the process of weighing ivory tusks for various purposes, including making brush handles, billiard balls, and other objects for ladies' dressing tables.
The juxtaposition of the majestic elephant tusks against the mundane items they will be transformed into is a stark reminder of the impact of human consumption on wildlife. The industry surrounding ivory has a long and politically incorrect history, with elephants being hunted to near extinction for their valuable tusks.
In this photograph, we see the raw materials from the jungle being prepared for use in everyday objects. It serves as a poignant reminder of how our actions can have far-reaching consequences on the natural world around us.
Despite its historical significance, this image also raises important questions about conservation efforts and ethical practices within industries that rely on animal products. It challenges viewers to consider where their possessions come from and what impact they may have on endangered species like elephants.
Overall, this print by Mary Evans Picture Library is not just a snapshot of a moment in time but a powerful commentary on humanity's relationship with nature.
