EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Elefant mit Kornak (In der Mahavaliganga), 1926" transports us to the serene landscapes of Sri Lanka in the early 20th century. The image captures a mesmerizing moment on the banks of the majestic Mahaweli River, where an elephant stands gracefully amidst its flowing waters. The scene is filled with life as a lone man, dressed in traditional attire, gently guides this magnificent creature known as Kornak. The bond between man and animal is evident in their synchronized movements and mutual trust. It offers a glimpse into the deep connection that exists between humans and elephants in this part of Asia. Surrounded by lush greenery and under clear skies, this photograph showcases the natural beauty of Sri Lanka's countryside. It provides insight into rural life during that era when people relied heavily on these gentle giants for various tasks. As we admire this monochrome print from "Der Indische Kulturkreis in Einzeldarstellungen" by Georg Muller, Munich (1926), it serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and how photography can transport us back in time. This historic snapshot not only captures a specific moment but also represents an entire continent's geography, traditions, and way of life.
