EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Elephant Kraaling in Ceylon - Noosed" captures a poignant moment in history. Taken around 1890 by the talented artist Alfred William Amandus Plate, this image was later featured in the renowned book "The Hundred Best Views of Ceylon" published by Plate Ltd in 1910. In this thought-provoking scene, we witness an Asian man standing beside a majestic elephant tied up with a noose. The setting is an enchanting jungle landscape adorned with lush trees and vibrant plants. This photograph not only showcases the beauty of nature but also sheds light on the agricultural practices prevalent during that time. As we delve into this snapshot from early 20th-century Sri Lanka (formerly known as Ceylon), it becomes apparent that there are deeper layers to explore. The image raises questions about animal cruelty and human-animal relationships within cultural contexts. Plate's monochrome composition skillfully emphasizes the profile of both man and beast against the backdrop of a sturdy tree trunk. It serves as a reminder of how art can capture historical moments while simultaneously sparking conversations about ethics and conservation. This remarkable piece from The Print Collector collection allows us to reflect on our past, appreciate diverse cultures, and consider our responsibility towards preserving wildlife for future generations.
