1872 Engraving Elephant Mammal Menagerie Sale
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage print titled "The Sale of a Menagerie: Knocking down the Elephant" we are transported back to the Victorian era, immersing ourselves in a moment of history, art, and culture. The engraving, created in 1872 using an illustrative technique known as engravement, showcases the grandeur and intricacy of this artistic form. With its retro-styled charm and impeccable attention to detail, the image depicts a bustling scene at an animal auction. Amidst a crowd of eager buyers and curious onlookers, our gaze is drawn towards the magnificent mammal that takes center stage - an elephant. Its sheer size commands attention as it stands tall amidst other creatures from the menagerie. This engraving not only serves as a visual delight but also offers us insight into past practices surrounding exotic animals. It invites contemplation on themes such as human-animal relationships, commerce, and societal values prevalent during that time period. As we admire this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection's archives - with its source size measuring 3783 x 2521 pixels - we can't help but appreciate how it captures both historical significance and artistic brilliance. Whether displayed in homes or galleries today, this print continues to serve as a testament to our fascination with nature's wonders while reminding us of bygone eras filled with curiosity and exploration.
