EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "BESTIARY: ELEPHANT" takes us back to the 13th century, immersing us in the world of medieval England. The image is a snapshot from a Latin treatise on the nature of beasts, birds, and fishes - an invaluable manuscript that offers insights into the understanding of animals during that time. In this particular illustration, we are presented with a majestic elephant adorned with intricate details. Its massive size and strength are evident as it stands tall against a backdrop of lush vegetation. A rider seated atop an ornate howdah adds an element of grandeur to the scene while holding a shield for protection. The craftsmanship showcased in this manuscript illumination is truly remarkable. Every stroke and color choice brings life to both the elephant and its surroundings, transporting us to another era where such works were cherished treasures. As we gaze upon this ancient artwork, we can't help but marvel at how knowledge was preserved through beautifully illustrated manuscripts like these. They not only served as educational resources but also provided glimpses into cultural beliefs and societal norms. Granger Art on Demand has once again brought history alive through their collection, allowing us to appreciate art forms that have stood the test of time. This print serves as a reminder of our connection to past civilizations and their quest for understanding the natural world around them.
