EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases a series of sketches depicting Jumbo, the majestic African Elephant, at the Zoological Gardens. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, these intricate illustrations offer a glimpse into the life of this remarkable creature. In this artwork, we witness Jumbo's youthful energy and strength as he roams within the confines of London Zoo. The artist skillfully captures every detail - from his powerful legs to his impressive tusks and even his delicate gums. These sketches provide a unique perspective on Jumbo's physicality and highlight his undeniable presence. However, amidst all the grandeur lies a poignant reminder of captivity. The chains that bind Jumbo serve as a stark symbol of confinement and control. Despite being lanced with sadness, there is still an air of resilience emanating from our protagonist. Commissioned for The Illustrated London News in February 1882, these engravings aim to captivate audiences with their lifelike portrayal of one of nature's most magnificent creatures. They transport us back in time to witness firsthand the awe-inspiring beauty and complexity that elephants possess. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded not only of Jumbo's individual story but also our responsibility towards protecting these incredible animals and ensuring their freedom in their natural habitats.
