EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "An elephant called Said killing its keeper at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris" depicts a horrifying incident that unfolded in the early 20th century. The colour litho, created by an anonymous French School artist, captures the intense moment when an enraged elephant named Said turned on its keeper. The image portrays a scene of sheer horror and chaos within the enclosure of Jardin des Plantes. The powerful elephant, driven by anger and bitterness, attacks its unfortunate keeper with deadly force. This shocking event took place in Paris and was documented for Le Petit Parisien newspaper on September 17th, 1905. The photograph evokes strong emotions as it exposes the dark side of captive animals and their potential for violence. It serves as a reminder of the dangers involved in keeping wild creatures confined within zoos or enclosures. Through this artwork, we are confronted with themes such as rage, fear, and mortality. It also raises questions about our relationship with wildlife animals and prompts us to reflect on their well-being in captivity. This thought-provoking image from Bridgeman Images offers a glimpse into history while highlighting one of the seven deadly sins – anger. It serves as a haunting reminder that even majestic creatures like elephants can succumb to their primal instincts under certain circumstances.
