EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Docile Elephant" an engraving created by the German School in the 19th century. The artwork, part of a private collection, was featured in Georg Hirth's book "Kulturgeschichtliches Bilderbuch aus drei Jahrhunderten" published between 1881 and 1890. The image depicts a historical scene from the 17th century, where an elephant trainer is seen working with his trained captive elephant. This fascinating glimpse into history highlights Germany's rich cultural heritage and its connection to animal training practices. The docility of the elephant is evident as it calmly interacts with its trainer. This portrayal not only reflects the bond between humans and animals but also sheds light on Germany's deep-rooted fascination with wildlife and nature. As we delve into this piece, we are transported back in time to Northern Germany, where Germanic traditions shaped society. The engraving serves as a testament to European unity within countries like Germany that share common values and histories. Through this remarkable artwork, we gain insight into both human-animal relationships and historical contexts. It reminds us of our shared responsibility to protect wildlife while appreciating their beauty and significance in our world today.
