EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ancient method of capturing wild elephants using lassos in Burma. Adapted from an illustration found in Michael Symes Account of an Embassy to the Kingdom of Ava, this handcoloured copperplate engraving brings to life the skill and ingenuity required to tame these majestic creatures. The image transports us to a dense jungle in Burma, where brave individuals strategically position themselves with their trusty lassos. With precision and agility, they throw these ropes towards the unsuspecting elephants, aiming to ensnare them and bring them under human control. The scene is filled with tension as we witness the delicate balance between man and beast. The power and strength of the wild elephants are palpable, yet there is also a sense of respect for their beauty and untamed spirit. The artist Andrea Bernieri has masterfully captured every detail, from the intricate patterns on the clothing worn by those attempting to catch these magnificent animals, to the lush foliage that surrounds them. Handcoloured with care, this engraving evokes a sense of wonderment at both nature's wonders and humanity's ability to adapt and coexist within it. Through this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of our connection with wildlife throughout history. It serves as a testament not only to our desire for dominance but also our capacity for understanding and appreciating creatures that have long fascinated us - like these wild elephants roaming freely through Burma's jungles.
