EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Military Manoeuvres in India, the Elephants of the Heavy Field-Battery taking Fright at a Passing Train" transports us back to the vibrant and tumultuous era of 19th-century India. Created by William Small after witnessing this remarkable scene, it captures a moment filled with both awe and trepidation. In this artwork, we witness the majestic elephants of the Heavy Field-Battery as they encounter an unexpected sight - a passing train. The sheer size and power of these magnificent creatures are juxtaposed against their vulnerability and fear in the face of modern technology. Their anxiety is palpable as they react with fright, their eyes wide with anguish. The artist skillfully portrays not only the physical presence but also the emotional turmoil experienced by these gentle giants. It serves as a poignant reminder that even nature's mightiest creations can be overwhelmed by human progress. This engraving offers us a glimpse into Indian military manoeuvres during that time period while shedding light on cultural aspects such as Indian traditions and customs. Through its intricate details and evocative imagery, it invites us to reflect on our own relationship with technology and how it impacts both humans and animals alike. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection, we are transported to another world where history unfolds before our eyes – reminding us of the delicate balance between progress and preservation.
