Details
The Indian photographer turns to look at the photographer as he stands behind a camera on a tripod covered with a dark blanket. Four other Indian men stand about the yard the elephant stands in. Two stand still and look at the camera as the other two attend to the elephant and the people on the elephant. Ella and Jacob Loose along with two unidentified people are seated on a saddle on an elephant in India. A driver straddles the elephant's neck by sitting on a blanket as he holds a hook. A helper stands on the ground by the elephant's front right foot and holds the ladder that allows riders to load and unload from the elephant's back. A rock wall and behind the group with trees beyond the wall. The elephant's tusk either has a cover over the tip or has been carved.
