EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the Attractive Picture Book, a beautifully colored engraving by an English School in the 19th century. The image takes us back in time to explore history through vivid illustrations. In this particular scene, we witness a young Englishman on a plantation, surrounded by various wildlife animals and intriguing elements. The central focus of the picture is an enraged elephant, towering over the Englishman who seems startled by its presence. On one side, we see a German Brunnen pump and an animated Chinaman holding what appears to be a bomb. These unexpected objects add an element of surprise and mystery to the composition. As our eyes wander across the page, we notice other animals scattered throughout - each with their own unique characteristics and expressions. From majestic lions to playful monkeys, this engraving brings together different species in one harmonious depiction of wildlife. The historical significance of this artwork becomes evident as it serves as an illustration for The Attractive Picture Book published by Griffith and Farran around 1867. It offers glimpses into past eras while simultaneously entertaining readers with its whimsical imagery. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, this print from Bridgeman Images captures both the beauty of nature and the allure of storytelling found within books like these – textbooks that transport us to distant lands filled with adventure and discovery.
