EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back in time to the year 1896, where we find ourselves amidst a rural field in Secunderabad, India. The sepia-toned print showcases an awe-inspiring sight - an elephant battery of the Indian Army. In this historical moment frozen by Henry Guttmann's lens, we witness a medium-sized group of men riding atop these majestic creatures. The scene exudes power and strength as these magnificent elephants stand tall against the backdrop of an open sky. It is evident that they are not just ordinary beasts but rather esteemed members of the military force. With their immense size and unwavering loyalty, they serve as both transportation and artillery for the Indian Army. As our eyes wander through this vintage masterpiece, we can't help but marvel at the precision with which Guttmann captures every detail. The men on top of these gentle giants appear focused and determined, ready to face any challenge that comes their way. This print serves as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of India's armed forces. It reminds us of their dedication towards protecting their nation while utilizing unconventional means such as these awe-inspiring elephant batteries. Henry Guttmann has truly immortalized this extraordinary moment in time through his lens, allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance.
