EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sport in India - Driving Elephants Into A Keddah" transports us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into a fascinating aspect of British colonial history. The image showcases the capture of wild elephants as they are driven into a kheda, an enclosure specifically designed for this purpose. The creator of this powerful photograph remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue. Taken from Thomas Williamson's book "Oriental Field Sports" published in 1808, this print was later featured in J. Maclaren Cobban's comprehensive biography on Earl Roberts. It serves as a visual representation of the adventurous life and deeds of Field Marshal Frederick Sleigh Roberts, also known as Lord Roberts. The photo captures the essence of British imperialism during that era when Britain ruled over India as part of its vast empire. It symbolizes both the awe-inspiring power and dominance exerted by the British Raj over nature and wildlife. Intriguingly colored with vibrant hues, this image not only highlights historical significance but also demonstrates artistic flair. The presence of men actively participating in capturing these majestic creatures adds depth to our understanding of human-animal interactions at that time. Overall, this print is a testament to the rich tapestry woven by history, literature, artistry, and exploration during an era where cultures collided against breathtaking landscapes within the boundaries set by imperial ambitions.
