EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Jung Purshawd, a 'Zoo' Celebrity, recently deceased" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the world of London's zoological gardens. The image showcases an English School's artistic prowess in capturing the essence of this remarkable creature. Jung Purshawd was no ordinary elephant; he had become a beloved figure at the London Zoo. This enchanting print immortalizes his memory and pays tribute to his life within these hallowed grounds. The intricate details bring out every wrinkle on Jung Purshawd's majestic body, while his eyes seem to reflect wisdom acquired over years spent entertaining visitors. The Illustrated London News featured this illustration on March 21st, 1896, ensuring that Jung Purshawd's legacy would be remembered for generations to come. In Regents Park, where the zoo is located, people mourned his passing as news spread throughout London. Elephants have always held a special place in our collective imagination due to their intelligence and gentle nature. As we gaze upon this engraving today, we are reminded of their significance not only as magnificent creatures but also as ambassadors for wildlife conservation. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can now appreciate this historical artwork and pay homage to Jung Purshawd – an unforgettable "Zoo" celebrity who left an indelible mark on both visitors and staff alike during his time at the London Zoo.
