EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in the circus world, showcasing a fierce battle between an elephant and a tiger in Annam, Indochina. The vibrant color lithograph, created by the French School in the 20th century, depicts an intense clash of strength and power. The image portrays an arena filled with spectators eagerly watching as these majestic creatures engage in combat. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as the crowd witnesses this extraordinary spectacle unfold before their eyes. The captive audience is enthralled by the sheer audacity of such a confrontation. However, amidst the excitement lies a deeper reflection on animal cruelty and entertainment. This photograph serves as a reminder of how animals were exploited for human amusement during that era. It raises questions about our ethical responsibility towards these magnificent beings who find themselves pitted against each other solely for our entertainment. Set against the backdrop of Vietnam's beautiful landscapes, this image offers insight into both cultural practices and societal values at that time. It represents not only an epic battle but also symbolizes conflict and confrontation within ourselves as we grapple with our relationship to nature. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let us contemplate how far we have come since then in terms of respecting and protecting all living creatures on our planet.
