EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A knowing elephant (engraving)" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the remarkable intelligence and gentle nature of these majestic creatures. The engraving, created by an anonymous American School artist, captures a moment from John Russell Young's book "Around the World with General Grant" published in 1879. The image transports us to Burma, where we witness an extraordinary encounter between man and beast. The elephant stands tall and confident as it reaches out its trunk towards a group of people. Its eyes seem to hold a deep understanding of human behavior, almost as if it possesses an innate wisdom that transcends language barriers. Through this engraving, we are reminded of the incredible bond that can form between humans and animals during travel expeditions. The intelligent elephant appears to be begging for food from its human companions, highlighting their reliance on each other in unfamiliar territories. As we admire this artwork captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are invited into a world where wildlife roams freely alongside humanity's quest for exploration. This print serves as a testament to both the beauty of nature and our shared responsibility to protect these magnificent creatures who enrich our lives with their presence.
