EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Arrival of the White Elephant from Burmah" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Alfred Courbould, this artwork was originally published in The Illustrated London News on January 26,1884. The scene depicted showcases the grandeur and excitement surrounding the arrival of a majestic white elephant at the London Zoo. As we gaze upon the print, we are transported to Liverpool's bustling harbor, where crowds have gathered to witness this extraordinary event. Intrigued spectators line the docks as they eagerly await their first glimpse of this exotic creature from faraway Burmah (now known as Burma). The elephants' massive size is emphasized by their towering presence against a backdrop of ships and cityscape. Dressed in great coats to protect themselves from the chilly winter air, American visitors join locals in marveling at this magnificent sight. Among them are notable figures such as Berens Hudson, J. R. Davis, and Bartlett Senior. This engraving not only captures an awe-inspiring moment but also symbolizes cultural exchange between nations. It serves as a reminder that even within our own borders, there exists a world full of wonder and diversity waiting to be explored. Displayed proudly within private collections today, this historical print continues to fascinate viewers with its vivid portrayal of wildlife and international connections.
