This photograph by George Wolf, taken before 1894, features two images of a female elephant named Miss Kumbuk, with her handler. The elephant is depicted standing by a gate and reaching her trunk out towards her keeper. The images, measuring 181 mm in height and 119 mm in width, are likely part of a larger collection that documents the life of Miss Kumbuk. This artwork is a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the life of a captive elephant and the relationship between animals and humans at the end of the 19th century.
