EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print captured by the talented Indian photographer Lala Deen Dayal. This stunning image, taken in the late 19th century, showcases an awe-inspiring Indian elephant standing proudly against a backdrop of lush greenery. The majestic creature's enormous size and powerful presence are beautifully portrayed through this albumen silver print from a glass negative. The intricate details of its wrinkled skin and magnificent tusks are brought to life, highlighting the sheer grandeur of this gentle giant. Intriguingly, we see a man standing beside the elephant - perhaps its mahout or caretaker. His presence adds depth to the composition as he represents the human-animal bond that has existed for centuries in India's rich cultural heritage. Lala Deen Dayal's exceptional skill in capturing both natural beauty and human connection is evident in this photograph. Through his lens, he transports us back to a time when elephants were not only revered creatures but also integral to daily life in India. This remarkable piece from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection serves as a testament to Dayal's mastery of photography as well as his dedication to preserving India's history through visual storytelling. As we gaze upon "The Great Elephant" we can't help but be captivated by its timeless charm and profound significance within our shared global heritage.
