EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable moment in history at the London Zoo in 1925. In the image, we see Indiarani, a majestic female Asian Elephant, using her powerful trunk to move timber while her keeper sits on her back, directing her movements. Indiarani was presented to the zoo by H. H Sir Jitendra Narayan, the 23rd Maharaja of Cooch Behar on July 16th, 1920. This historical snapshot offers a glimpse into an era when elephants were employed for various tasks such as logging and heavy lifting. The photo showcases the incredible strength and intelligence of these magnificent creatures as they worked side by side with humans. The sheer size of Indiarani is awe-inspiring, emphasizing just how vital elephants were in industries that required immense power. The composition allows us to appreciate both the beauty of this gentle giant and its close bond with its keeper. It serves as a testament to the harmonious relationship between animals and humans during that time. This print from Fine Art Finder not only captures a significant moment in London Zoo's history but also highlights our fascination with these intelligent beings who have captivated our imagination for centuries.
