EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in the heart of India's wilderness during the early 1900s. The image showcases a mahout, an experienced elephant rider, diligently removing a thorn from the foot of his majestic companion. Set against the backdrop of Cooch Behar in West Bengal, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the symbiotic relationship between man and beast. The British Raj era is palpable as we witness this intimate scene unfold. The photograph exudes an air of adventure and exploration that was characteristic of tiger hunting expeditions during that time. It serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and respect for nature's creatures. Stereoscopic photography adds depth to this historical artifact, allowing us to immerse ourselves in its rich details. Underwood & Underwood, renowned for their expertise in capturing such moments on stereoscopic cards, have masterfully preserved this slice of history. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are reminded not only of the courage displayed by these men but also their dedication to protecting wildlife. This image encapsulates how professions like being a mahout were intertwined with conservation efforts even then. The print collector who has brought forth this treasure invites us to reflect on our own connection with nature and recognize our responsibility towards preserving it for future generations.
