Covering Elephant Elephants Jumbo Scrap Walk


EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century photograph, titled "Jumbo Goes for a Walk," presents an intriguing glimpse into the past, showcasing the famous Jumbo the Elephant during one of his leisurely strolls. The image, part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back to a time when Jumbo was the most celebrated elephant in the world. Jumbo, who lived from 1860 to 1885, was originally from Africa and was brought to Europe in 1865. He was purchased by P.T. Barnum, an American showman, and became the star attraction of Barnum's traveling circus. Known for his massive size, Jumbo measured 13 feet tall and weighed over 13,000 pounds. In this photograph, Jumbo is seen covered in a red blanket, likely for warmth or protection. The image captures the gentle giant as he ambles along, seemingly at ease, with his massive ears flapping gently in the breeze. The presence of several men in the background, dressed in Victorian attire, adds to the historical context of the photograph, highlighting the fascination and awe that Jumbo inspired in the public during that era. The photograph, with its rich history and intriguing subject matter, is a testament to the captivating allure of the past. It offers a unique perspective into the life of one of the most famous elephants in history and serves as a reminder of the wonder and curiosity that animals, particularly those as magnificent as Jumbo, have held for generations.
