EDITORS COMMENTS
This color print captures a scene from early 20th century Burmah (now Myanmar), showcasing the majestic elephants at work. The image, taken by an English photographer, is part of a private collection and was originally featured in the book "Living Burmah" published by Whiteaway, Laidlaw in 1910 or earlier.
The elephants, known for their strength and intelligence, are seen here engaged in various tasks typical of their role in Burmese society. From logging to transportation, these gentle giants played a vital role in the country's economy and culture during that time.
The vibrant colors bring this historical moment to life, allowing us to glimpse into a bygone era when elephants were revered and respected as valuable companions to humans. The intricate details captured by Watts & Skeen highlight the bond between man and animal as they work together harmoniously.
As we admire this photograph, we are reminded of the rich heritage and traditions of Myanmar, where elephants have long been considered symbols of power and wisdom. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of these magnificent creatures in shaping the cultural landscape of Southeast Asia.
