EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the tragic demise of Jumbo, the iconic elephant from P. T. Barnum's circus, in 1885. The image depicts a wood engraving capturing the heart-wrenching moment when Jumbo encountered a locomotive at St Thomas, Ontario, Canada on September 15th of that year. The sheer size and grandeur of Jumbo is evident even in this posthumous portrayal. His lifeless body lies sprawled across the tracks, serving as a somber reminder of his untimely fate. The artist skillfully captures every detail - from the wrinkles on Jumbo's weathered skin to his magnificent tusks - ensuring that viewers can truly appreciate the magnificence and power he once possessed. Jumbo's death was not only a loss for Barnum but also for all those who had witnessed his awe-inspiring performances throughout his career. This image serves as both a tribute to this extraordinary creature and a testament to the dangers faced by animals during an era dominated by industrial progress. As we gaze upon this haunting engraving, we are reminded of James Taylor Bailey's words: "Not just an elephant; he was more than that". Indeed, Jumbo transcended mere spectacle; he became an icon whose memory lives on through images like these. Through this poignant artwork provided by The Granger Collection in New York, we are transported back to that fateful day in 1885 when tragedy struck one of history's most beloved elephants.
