EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1875 transports us back to the enchanting Garden of Acclimation in the Bois de Boulogne, Paris. The image captures a delightful scene where children joyfully ride on the back of an elephant while being pulled along by Austrias, a type of carriage or cariola. The carefree spirit of childhood is beautifully depicted as these young adventurers explore the lush surroundings of this public garden. Their laughter fills the air as they embark on this unique mode of transportation, accompanied by an ostrich-like bird known as an Austrias. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, bringing life to each element within the composition. From the intricate coupling mechanism connecting the Austrias to its passengers, to the majestic presence of the elephant itself - every aspect adds depth and character to this historical snapshot. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of a time long gone but also how simple pleasures can bring immense joy. It serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling city life, moments like these can be found where nature and leisure intertwine harmoniously. This engraving stands as a testament to both artistic skill and cultural significance. It allows us to glimpse into a bygone era when such scenes were commonplace in one of France's most beloved public spaces – forever captured for generations to appreciate and admire.
