EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable scene in the French Congo during the 20th century. In this vibrant colour litho, we witness an awe-inspiring sight as an elephant takes on the role of a plough horse. The image showcases the unique relationship between humans and animals in agricultural practices. The French School artist skillfully depicts this momentous event, which originally appeared as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on January 15,1911. The elephant, elegantly adorned with decorative harnesses, is harnessed to a plough while diligently tilling the fertile Congolese soil. This visual testament to colonialism and agriculture highlights both human ingenuity and nature's immense power. As we delve into this historical context, it becomes evident that this image symbolizes more than just farming techniques; it represents France's influence over its overseas territories at that time. It serves as a reminder of how different cultures interacted with their environments and utilized available resources. Through this photograph, we are transported back to an era when elephants were not only revered for their strength but also utilized as essential tools in various industries. This extraordinary display of animal power demonstrates humanity's ability to adapt and innovate within diverse landscapes. Bridgeman Images' preservation of this significant artwork allows us to appreciate the intricate details captured by the anonymous French School artist. As viewers explore every element within the frame – from farm buildings to wildlife – they are invited into a world where man and beast work together harmoniously towards progress in
