EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Attempt to Remove Jumbo, the Great Elephant, from the Zoological Gardens" offers a glimpse into a remarkable event that took place in 19th century London. The image depicts an ambitious endeavor to transport Jumbo, a beloved and colossal elephant residing in the Zoological Gardens. The scene is filled with bustling activity as workers meticulously prepare for this monumental task. Towering wooden crates are carefully positioned around Jumbo's massive frame, serving as makeshift transportation vessels. The sheer size of these crates emphasizes the immense challenge faced by those involved in relocating such an extraordinary creature. Jumbo himself stands at the center of attention, his majestic presence dominating the composition. His wrinkled skin and powerful tusks exude strength and wisdom accumulated over many years spent captivating audiences at London Zoo. Despite his imposing stature, there is a hint of vulnerability in his eyes as he faces this unfamiliar situation. The engraving captures both the excitement and trepidation surrounding this daring attempt. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination when faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles. This momentous event would forever be etched into history as one of London's most memorable feats of animal transportation. Through this lithograph print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the awe-inspiring sight of Jumbo being prepared for his journey beyond the confines of Zoological Gardens—a truly unforgettable moment captured within an exquisite work of art.
