EDITORS COMMENTS
The vibrant colour litho print titled "He called the elephant a dumb beast, or something" captures a delightful moment of amusement and innocence. Created by John Hassall, this artwork showcases his exceptional talent for illustrating humorous scenes. Set in a zoological garden, the image depicts a young boy standing before an enormous elephant with awe and wonder in his eyes. The mischievous grin on his face suggests that he has just uttered some cheeky remark about the majestic creature. Perhaps he is playfully teasing the elephant or engaging in light-hearted banter with those around him. Hassall's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this piece. The intricate rendering of the animal's tusks and expressive features adds depth to its character, while simultaneously highlighting the childlike fascination it evokes. This print was originally created as an illustration for Walter Emanuel's book, "The Zoo" published in 1904. It perfectly encapsulates the joyous spirit of childhood and our innate connection with wildlife. "He called the elephant a dumb beast, or something" invites viewers into a world where laughter reigns supreme and animals become sources of endless entertainment. It serves as a reminder that even amidst life's complexities, finding humor can bring us closer together and make everyday moments truly extraordinary.
