EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a historic moment in this photo print. The image showcases various stages of Jumbo's removal process, beginning with his confinement in a box and visitors inscribing their names as they bid farewell to the beloved elephant. Jumbo, an iconic animal and mammal, objects to being restrained by irons as he embarks on his journey. The scene then shifts to the park gates where Jumbo takes charge and drives himself towards Albany Street amidst a ceremonial guard turnout. The photograph beautifully documents Jumbo's passage through different landscapes - from bustling roads to tranquil pathways - symbolizing his transition from public municipal parks like recreation grounds or playgrounds into a new chapter of his life. As Jumbo enters St. Katherine's Dock, suspended mid-air and gradually lowered onto a barge, one cannot help but feel awe at witnessing such an extraordinary sight. This engraving from 1882 not only serves as a historical artifact but also showcases the illustrative technique prevalent during Victorian times. With its retro-styled vintage charm, this print is sure to evoke nostalgia for those interested in arts and culture. It offers viewers an opportunity to delve into history while appreciating the significance of animals like Jumbo within our collective memory.
