EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph titled "The Troubles of a Police Commissioner, an incident of Tropical Travel" artist William Ralston takes us on a humorous journey through the wild jungles of Africa. The scene depicts a worried police commissioner, dressed in his official tunic, as he finds himself in quite the predicament. As the man hurries along a narrow path, his work is suddenly interrupted by the unexpected arrival of a mischievous rogue elephant. With its trunk raised high and twinkling eyes, the massive creature playfully tosses the slim branch it had seized across the commissioner's path. This unforeseen obstacle leaves our protagonist with no choice but to halt his progress. Meanwhile, amidst all this chaos, a sly fox takes advantage of the situation and disappears into thin air. It seems that trouble has truly found our poor police commissioner at every turn during his visit to this African village. This amusing incident serves as a reminder that even those in positions of authority can find themselves at odds with nature's unpredictable ways. Through Ralston's skilled engraving techniques and attention to detail, we are transported into this whimsical world where animals hold their own sense of mischief and resourcefulness. "The Troubles of a Police Commissioner" captures both the beauty and challenges encountered during tropical travel while offering viewers an opportunity for lighthearted amusement within its intricate composition.
