EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming 19th-century lithograph captures a whimsical moment as an elephant playfully swallows a straw hat with a comical smile on its face. The scene, depicted in vibrant colors, exudes humor and light-heartedness, making it a delightful addition to any art collection.
The illustration was originally created for "Bubbles," edited by Dr. Barnardo, and showcases the creativity and imagination of English School artists from that era. The playful interaction between the elephant and the straw hat is sure to bring a smile to viewers of all ages.
As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to the zoological gardens or menageries where such scenes may have unfolded. The attention to detail in capturing the expression on the elephant's face adds depth and character to the piece, inviting us to imagine what other antics these zoo animals might get up to.
Whether displayed in a children's bookroom or as part of a larger art collection, this print is bound to spark joy and laughter wherever it is placed. It serves as a reminder of the power of art to evoke emotions and tell stories that transcend time and space.
