Aldin Cane Cecil Elephant Elephants Feeding Smart Wild 1902
EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration dates back to the early 1900s, specifically the year 1902, and depicts an enchanting moment between a man in a top hat and an elephant. The scene unfolds at a zoo or perhaps a safari park, where the man, dressed in Edwardian attire, including a smart cane, leans forward with a delicate bun in hand. With a look of concentration and delight, he offers the treat to the curious and patient elephant, who reaches out with its massive trunk to gently take the bun from the man's fingertips. The illustration is taken from an old book, likely one of the many beautifully illustrated volumes produced during this era. The man's attire and the overall setting suggest an image from the Edwardian period, a time of elegance and adventure. The large elephant, with its powerful yet gentle demeanor, adds to the sense of wonder and excitement. This illustration, with its charming depiction of human-animal interaction, offers a glimpse into the past and the fascination people had with the natural world during the early 1900s. It is a reminder of the connection between humans and animals, and the sense of awe and curiosity that comes with encountering the wild and the unknown.
