EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Elephants in Chase, c1850 (c1912)" takes us back to a time of adventure and danger in India. The scene depicted is an elephant hunt, showcasing the bravery and skill of both man and beast. From the book "The Romance of India" edited by Herbert Strang, this image captures a moment filled with tension and excitement. In this snapshot from history, we witness a group of Indian men armed with rifles as they confront a massive elephant charging towards them. Fear is etched on their faces as they stand their ground against this formidable creature. The open mouth of the elephant reveals its power and threat while emphasizing the intensity of the situation. The print transports us to 19th-century Hindoostan, where warfare was not limited to human combatants but extended into encounters with majestic animals like elephants. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, humans have relied on weaponry for survival in hostile environments. With its detailed portrayal of individuals engaged in an epic struggle between man and nature, this print offers a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. It encapsulates the spirit of adventure that characterized exploration during the early 20th century. As we admire this historical artifact captured by George Herbert Ely or Charles James Lestrange (the artists behind it), we are reminded once again that art has the power to transport us through time and immerse us in different cultures and experiences.
