Orphaned Elephant - Julia Cumes - Assam, India

from $3.95

During my time documenting an elephant rehabilitation/release program in Assam, India, I formed a special bond with an orphaned elephant who had lost his mother in a flood. Saying goodbye was difficult, but as I walked away, I felt his gaze. Turning back, I was met with a remarkable sight: the young elephant standing on his hind legs, peering out of his enclosure window. In his eyes, I glimpsed a depth of emotion and understanding that transcended species. It was a moment of profound connection, reminding me of the universal language of empathy and compassion.

Note cards are printed personally in Robert Manz Studio, folded, inserted in a clear plastic sleeve, along with a quality cream-colored envelope. The card is blank inside and has the location information printed on the back.

The sizes available are 4”x6” and 5”x7” folded.

You can choose coated card stock or rag paper.
