The Removal of Jumbo, I, on the Way to the Docks
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by Alfred Chantrey Corbould that depicts a significant moment in history. The image showcases the monumental task of transporting Jumbo, an iconic elephant from London Zoo, to his new home. In this scene, we witness the careful orchestration of Jumbo's removal. A large crate containing the majestic creature is being lowered onto a barge at St Katherine's Dock while visitors and park guards look on with awe and curiosity. The bustling activity around Albany Street suggests that people from all walks of life have come together to witness this extraordinary event. As Jumbo drives through London en route to the docks, his name is inscribed on various objects along the way as a tribute to his legacy. The artist skillfully captures mid-air movement as boats and tugboats accompany him during his journey. It is evident that every precaution has been taken to ensure Jumbo's safety; he stands securely within irons inside his crate. The print not only documents an important historical event but also serves as a reminder of our fascination with these magnificent creatures. "The Removal of Jumbo" invites us into a world where animals hold great significance in society and reminds us of their impact on human imagination throughout history.
