The Sacred White Elephant
Sketches in Burmah (Burma - modern day Myanmar), with the recently caught sacred white elephant given to the King depicted though the ILN correspondent calls it as great a fraud as Barnum's white elephant. There were a few muddy patches on its skin, and some white hairs, probably from age; but the King is wild with joy
