EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating back to 1898, showcases Jung Pasha, an Indian elephant who once graced the London Zoo. Jung Pasha was among the four Asian elephants brought back to England by Bertie, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII), following his tour of India during 1875-76. The elephants were a significant addition to the London Zoo's collection, reflecting the growing interest in exotic animals during the Victorian era. The image, mounted on a board, presents Jung Pasha in all his majesty, standing tall against a plain background. His massive body, covered in intricately patterned grey skin, is a testament to the grandeur of the Indian elephant (Elephas maximus). With his large, expressive eyes and long, curved tusks, Jung Pasha exudes a sense of power and intelligence that is both awe-inspiring and humbling. The nineteenth century was a time of discovery and exploration, with Europeans venturing into Asia to learn about new cultures and expand their knowledge of the natural world. The acquisition of Jung Pasha and his companions was a symbol of this curiosity and desire for understanding. Today, this photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history of animal conservation and the enduring fascination with these magnificent creatures. Jung Pasha was a member of the Elephantidae family, order Proboscidea, and the Elephantoidea suborder. He was an Eutherian mammal, belonging to the class Mammalia and the order Mammalia, and was a member of the family Elephantidae, the largest living terrestrial animals. This photograph is an invaluable addition to any collection of historical animal images or those focusing on the natural history of India and its wildlife.
