EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historical photograph, Jumbo, the famous elephant who once captivated audiences at P.T. Barnum's American Museum in New York City, is seen standing in his enclosure with his keeper, Matthew Scott. The image, captured in March 1882, shows Jumbo's massive size and power, as he towers over the small figure of Scott. In the foreground of the photo, a letter lies on the ground, likely the source of Miss Stevens' enquiry. The letter, now faded with age, bears the inquiry regarding the circumference measurements of Jumbo's feet. Scott, holding a measuring tape in hand, appears to be in the process of taking these measurements for Miss Stevens. The hind foot of Jumbo, with its massive size and intricate details of the toenails and sole, is prominently displayed in the photograph. The circumference of the foot is given as 5 feet. Scott then moves to measure the forefoot, which is shown in the background, with a circumference of 5 feet, 6 inches. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of Jumbo and his caretaker, as well as the scientific curiosity that surrounded the elephant during his time in captivity. The image also highlights the awe-inspiring size and power of Jumbo, making it a fascinating piece of historical documentation. Matthew Scott's attentiveness to Miss Stevens' enquiry and his dedication to providing accurate measurements showcases the importance of record-keeping and scientific inquiry during this era. The photograph, taken over a century ago, continues to captivate audiences and provide insights into the history of Jumbo and the world of circus elephants.
