EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from the early 1900s, part of the Boswell Collection on Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases an extraordinary moment at the zoo between people and an African Elephant. The photograph, estimated to be taken around the turn of the century, transports us back in time to an era when such close encounters with these magnificent creatures were a rare treat. The African Elephant, with its distinctive large ears and long, curved tusks, is the larger of the two elephant species. Here, it appears calm and patient as a group of people climb onto its back, a testament to the trust that had been built between humans and this gentle giant. The elephant's expression remains serene, its eyes half-closed as if in a peaceful slumber, while the people, dressed in turn-of-the-century attire, seem to be in awe of their experience. The scene is further enhanced by the warm, lantern-like light that illuminates the image, casting a soft, ethereal glow over the subjects. This photograph not only captures the essence of a bygone era but also highlights the unique bond that can form between humans and animals, even in the most unexpected of settings – a zoo. The African Elephant, once hunted to the brink of extinction, is now a protected species. Today, we strive to preserve their habitats and ensure their survival for future generations to marvel at their majesty. This photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts and the profound impact that these gentle giants have had on our collective imagination and appreciation for the natural world.
