EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic scene of "The Attempted Removal of Jumbo from the Zoological Gardens". The engraving, created by Alfred Chantrey Corbould in 1882, showcases a pivotal moment in history when this beloved elephant was being relocated. On a peaceful Sunday morning, amidst the picturesque grounds of the zoological gardens, Jumbo's departure is imminent. This majestic creature had won the hearts of many with his gentle nature and playful antics. However, it was time for him to bid farewell to his loved quarters and embark on a new journey. As he takes his last exit from his familiar habitat, young Jumbo finds himself adorned with bracelets - not as symbols of adornment but rather as restraints during this delicate operation. Enclosed within a sturdy crate that would ensure his safety throughout the move, Jumbo's size and strength are overhauled to guarantee a smooth transition. Despite appearances suggesting otherwise, Jumbo declines any hint of resistance or reluctance. His return gaze seems to appeal for understanding as he leaves behind everything he has known since arriving at this house years ago. In this poignant scene marking the beginning of an extraordinary adventure, we witness Scott leading this remarkable creature towards an uncertain future. The engraving beautifully encapsulates both the grandeur and vulnerability embodied by Jumbo as he bravely steps into uncharted territory.
