EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant colour lithograph captures the grandeur and beauty of an Elephant procession in Bengal during the 19th century. The majestic elephants, adorned with intricate decorations and colourful fabrics, lead the way through the bustling streets of West Bengal, India.
The scene is alive with energy as onlookers gather to witness this traditional spectacle. The rich cultural heritage of Bengal is evident in every detail - from the ornate costumes worn by attendants to the elaborate headdresses adorning the elephants themselves.
As we gaze upon this historical image, we are transported back in time to a period when such processions were a common sight in Indian society. The artist has skillfully captured not only the physical presence of these magnificent creatures but also their symbolic importance within Bengali culture.
This print was originally featured in "Bubbles," edited by Dr Barnardo, showcasing its significance as a piece of children's literature from that era. It serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal and fascination that elephants have held for people throughout history.
Overall, this stunning lithograph offers us a glimpse into a bygone era filled with tradition, celebration, and reverence for these gentle giants of the animal kingdom.
