EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back to the enchanting world of Siam in 1911. The image, titled "Catching a white elephant in Siam" captures a moment of great significance and cultural importance. In the heart of this bustling scene, we witness a group of determined men dressed in traditional Siamese costumes, adorned with turbans and baggy trousers. With torches held high, they embark on an extraordinary mission - capturing a majestic white elephant. The symbolism behind this endeavor is profound; it is believed that possessing such an elusive creature brings immense luck to the King. As the men skillfully maneuver ropes around the magnificent animal's massive frame, their dedication and reverence for tradition are palpable. Amidst all the action, one cannot help but notice a rider atop another elephant nearby, playing a rhythmic beat on his drum. This musical accompaniment adds an element of excitement and anticipation to the atmosphere. This illustration from Le Petit Journal provides us with not only a glimpse into early 20th-century French-Indochina relations but also serves as a reminder of how deeply rooted traditions can shape cultures across continents. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, our imaginations run wild with tales of adventure and wonderment.
