EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Charge of Tamerlanes War Elephants" takes us back to the 19th century, where history comes alive through intricate illustrations. The print showcases a pivotal moment in time, as war elephants charge forward under the command of Tamerlane. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this historic masterpiece. The powerful beasts are depicted with immense strength and determination, their colossal bodies adorned with ornate armor. As they surge forward, trampling everything in their path, one can almost feel the ground shake beneath them. This engraving was created for "The Chronicles of Enguerrand de Monstrelet" a renowned historical account translated by Thomas Johnes. It offers a glimpse into the cruel civil wars between the Houses of Orleans and Burgundy that ravaged Europe during that era. As we gaze upon this print from a private collection, we are transported to an age when warfare took on epic proportions. The image serves as a reminder of humanity's capacity for both destruction and ingenuity. Through its monochromatic palette and meticulous detailing, this engraving captures not only an important moment in history but also the artistic skill and storytelling ability prevalent during the 19th century.
