EDITORS COMMENTS
This and haunting print captures the tragic aftermath of an elephant hunt in the Dutch East Indies during the 20th century. The vibrant colours of this lithograph bring to life a heart-wrenching scene that unfolded amidst the dense forests of Sumatra, Asia. In this illustration for Le Petit Journal, published on November 25,1906, we witness the denouement tragique d'une chasse à l'éléphant - a tragic ending to an elephant hunt. The hunters, driven by colonialism and their thirst for power, are depicted as they confront the consequences of their actions. The immense size and strength of these majestic creatures is evident as they trample over fallen bodies and shattered dreams. This image serves as a stark reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit to dominate nature without considering its devastating repercussions. The Dutch East Indies served as a backdrop for this sorrowful event, highlighting both the beauty and brutality that existed within these lands. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are transported back in time to witness not only death but also the clash between cultures. Let us reflect upon our relationship with animals and nature while contemplating this powerful artwork. May it serve as a poignant reminder that every action has consequences - even those carried out under misguided intentions or fueled by greed.
