EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting engraving titled 'Long, long ago,' the elephant is depicted deep in thought as he dreams of his old companions. The intricate details and expressive lines by artist Henry Justice Ford bring to life the nostalgia and longing felt by the majestic creature. As we gaze upon this 19th-century artwork, we are transported into a world where animals possess human-like emotions and memories. The elephant's wistful expression stirs our own memories of past friendships and connections that have faded with time. The black-and-white composition adds a timeless quality to the scene, emphasizing the universal theme of reminiscence and yearning for days gone by. The dreamlike atmosphere created by Ford invites us to ponder our own dreams and aspirations, reminding us of the power of imagination in shaping our reality. Through this illustration from 'The Animal Story Book' edited by Andrew Lang, we are reminded of the importance of storytelling in preserving memories and passing down wisdom through generations. Just like the elephant in this engraving, may we never forget our roots or lose sight of those who have shaped us along the way.
