EDITORS COMMENTS
An Elephant Battery in India: Breakfast - Waiting for the Word 'Feed' (1890) is a captivating photograph that transports us back in time to the 1890s in India, during the British Raj. The image, published in "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper," depicts a scene of patience and preparation as a group of mahouts, or elephant handlers, wait for the command to feed their war elephants. The photograph captures the essence of the Victorian era with its black and white composition, revealing the raw beauty of India's countryside. The elephants, powerful and majestic creatures, stand still, their large ears flapping gently in the breeze, as their mahouts sit calmly beside them. The men, dressed in traditional Indian clothing, appear focused and attentive, their eyes fixed on the distant figure of their superior, who is likely giving the order to feed. The scene is one of quiet anticipation, as the mahouts wait for the word 'Feed' to be given. The elephants, too, seem to sense the impending action, their large, expressive eyes reflecting the patience and obedience of these magnificent animals. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of the British army in India during this period, and the important role that elephants played in military operations. The image is a testament to the rich history and culture of India during the 19th century, and serves as a reminder of the intricate relationships between humans and animals that have existed for centuries. Today, it stands as an important historical document, capturing a moment in time that has long since passed, but continues to fascinate and inspire us.
