EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Arrival of the White Elephant from Burmah" takes us back to a momentous event in history. The image, created by Alfred Courbould, transports us to London in 1884 as we witness the arrival of this majestic creature. As we gaze upon the scene, our eyes are drawn to the bustling docks where a special view has been set up for spectators. Inspector Coucher and his peep eagerly await the arrival of this extraordinary animal, accompanied by its keeper from London Zoo. The excitement is palpable as photographers capture every detail of this grand procession. Intriguingly, alongside the white elephant's transport stands a travelling temple filled with gods and necessities from Burma. This unique sight adds an air of mystique to the already enchanting scene. The morning call has brought together a diverse crowd - from railway workers at Euston and Crewe stations to locals like Sam and Ganly Lon who have come all the way from Tenasserim. Even racehorses, ponies, shire horses, and other livestock seem captivated by this rare spectacle. One cannot help but be swept away into a dreamlike state while observing this mesmerizing print. It evokes thoughts of distant lands and mythical creatures that inhabit our dreamscape. This remarkable artwork captures not only an important historical moment but also invites us into a world where reality merges with imagination – reminding us that sometimes it is through dreams that we truly see beyond what is right in front of us.
