EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to witness "The Strange Adventures of Two Runaway Elephants in Kentish Town, London". The image, engraved with meticulous detail and illustrative technique, showcases a series of events that unfolded during this peculiar incident. In the first frame, we see the elephants breaking loose from their captivity and joyfully galloping down Cathcart Hill. Their wild escape leads them into a passage connecting Francis Terrace to Pemberton Gardens, as depicted in the second frame. However, fate takes an unexpected turn as they stumble into a cellar within Pemberton Gardens - an unfortunate fall captured in the third frame. For some time thereafter, these magnificent creatures remain trapped in the dark depths of the cellar until help arrives. The fourth frame portrays their patient wait until rescuers finally come to their aid. With great effort and determination, they are pulled out of their subterranean prison as shown in the sixth frame. Finally liberated from confinement, our protagonists leave contentedly with their rescuers - a heartwarming scene portrayed in the seventh and final frame. This vintage engraving not only offers us insight into this extraordinary event but also serves as a testament to Victorian arts and culture. With its retro-styled charm and historical significance, this fascinating print invites viewers on an imaginative journey through time while showcasing both artistic skill and storytelling prowess.
