EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Gustave Dore's remarkable artwork titled "Album of the Siege of Paris, Elephants of the garden". The intricate pen and brown ink wash, along with pencil on paper, beautifully captures a significant moment in history. Measuring 16.9x23.1 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet. The image depicts a scene during the siege of Paris in the late nineteenth century. In this particular drawing, we witness soldiers chained to their posts while elephants roam freely within a zoological garden. This powerful visual symbolizes both the desperation and resilience experienced by those trapped inside besieged Paris. Dore's attention to detail is evident as he meticulously illustrates various elements such as uniforms, rifles, and even facial expressions that convey deep emotions ranging from starvation to determination. Through his skillful handiwork, he brings forth an atmosphere filled with tension and scarcity. The artist's ability to capture wildlife animals amidst such dire circumstances adds another layer of complexity to this piece. It serves as a reminder that even during times of conflict and hardship, nature continues its course. Overall, Dore's work not only showcases his talent as a draughtsman but also highlights historical events through artistry. This print allows us to appreciate his meticulous study and skillful execution while providing insight into one aspect of life during the blockade of Paris in the nineteenth century.
