RM2B01B6D–Central Africa: 'Female Elephant Pursued with Javelins, Protecting Her Young'. Illustration by David Livingstone (19 March 1913 - 1 May 1873), 1857. Elephant ivory has been exported from Africa and Asia for centuries with records going back to the 14th century BCE. Throughout the colonisation of Africa ivory was removed, often using slaves to carry the tusks, to be used for piano keys, billiard balls and other expressions of exotic wealth. Ivory hunters were responsible for wiping out elephants in North Africa perhaps about 1,000 years ago and in much of South Africa in the 19th century.
