EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "War elephant in the army of King Darius" takes us back to ancient Persia and immerses us in a scene of epic proportions. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the awe-inspiring might of these colossal creatures. Intricately detailed, the engraving depicts a majestic war elephant adorned with ornate armor and carrying a towering howdah on its back. Positioned within an imposing army led by King Darius himself, this formidable beast symbolizes power and dominance on the battlefield. The image captures a moment frozen in time as archers atop other elephants unleash their arrows towards unseen adversaries. Spears held firmly by soldiers on foot add to the intensity of this dramatic composition. The presence of multiple elephants emphasizes their crucial role as living weapons during warfare. Historically significant, this illustration is taken from J. W. Buel's renowned book "The Story of Man". It offers viewers a glimpse into ancient military tactics employed by Persian forces against legendary figures like Alexander the Great. Digitally cleaned for enhanced clarity, this print transports us to an era where animals played pivotal roles alongside human warriors. As we marvel at these magnificent creatures' strength and intelligence, we are reminded that history is filled with extraordinary alliances between man and beast.
