The elephants are taking a dust bath creating a cloud of sand dust billowing at their feet; their majestic size, long ivory tusks, and large ears, overshadow the youngsters alongside them as they perform their natural grooming behavior. DUSTING ELEPHANTS was printed in visually appealing shades of neutral beige, gray, sky blue, and touches of black and white. Year published 1983 Edition size -200, plus proofs Print size - 21.5" x 29.5", excellent condition, unframed, pencil signed by Sydney Taylor High quality handmade lithograph, not a commercially mass produced poster or digital reproduction. classic wildlife portrait, animal art print. ABOUT DUSTING: To counteract the damaging rays of the sun, elephants throw sand on themselves. Adult elephants will also douse youngsters with dust. When coming out of a bath in a river, elephants will often throw mud on themselves as a layer of protection. Bathing appears to be pleasurable and is essential to elephants. The trunks are used like a hose to spray water across the body. To help protect the skin from parasites and biting insects, elephants wallow in mud or spray dust on their wet skin. Once the mud and dust is dry, elephants rub against a hard surface, removing most parasites.
