EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic moment in the exploration of the Abyssinian tributaries of the Nile. In this 19th-century engraving, an enraged elephant retaliates against a troop of hunters on horseback who had been chasing him relentlessly. The powerful creature takes matters into its own hands, or rather, trunk, as it lifts and tosses the hunters onto its back with ease. One hunter can be seen preparing to defend himself by arming his weapon, hoping to stop the elephant's rampage and bring it down for good. The intensity of this scene is palpable; you can almost feel the anger and determination emanating from both sides. The artist skillfully portrays not only the physical struggle between man and beast but also captures a range of emotions present in this encounter - fear, bravery, rage. This engraving serves as a reminder that nature's power cannot be underestimated and that even those who consider themselves mighty must face consequences when they challenge it. Published in "Le tour du monde" in 1870-1871 under Edouard Charton's editorial guidance, this artwork is part of the Selva Collection. Leonard de Selva has beautifully captured every detail through his lens, ensuring that future generations can appreciate both the artistic mastery and historical significance within this image.
