EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the interior of the Ivory store cellar at No. 6 Norfolk Street in Sheffield, England, back in 1911. The store belonged to Joseph Rodgers and Sons Ltd, esteemed cutlery manufacturers of that era. This image is taken from their publication titled "Under Five Sovereigns" which provides a fascinating glimpse into their works. The photo showcases rows upon rows of ivory tusks neatly arranged on shelves, highlighting the company's reliance on this precious material for their exquisite cutlery production. It is evident that elephants played a significant role in shaping both the industry and aesthetics of this bustling city center. The sheer size and beauty of these elephant tusks are awe-inspiring, serving as a testament to nature's wonders while also raising questions about conservation efforts during that time period. The intricate craftsmanship involved in transforming these raw materials into elegant handles for knives and other utensils is undoubtedly an art form worth admiring. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, it reminds us not only of Sheffield's industrial prowess but also prompts reflection on our relationship with animals and natural resources throughout history.
