EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Destruction of the noble elephant at Mr Cross's Exeter Change, 1826" captures a tragic yet powerful moment in history. The image, created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, showcases Chunee the elephant, weighing an astonishing 5 tons. Displayed at the menagerie within Mr Cross's Exeter Change establishment in London, Chunee faced a heartbreaking fate when he posed a threat to breach his cage. In this heart-wrenching scene frozen in time, we witness the desperate measures taken to protect both visitors and other animals from potential harm. The vivid colors of this lithograph bring forth a sense of urgency and chaos as blood is shed and shots are fired. It serves as a haunting reminder of humanity's complex relationship with nature and our sometimes misguided attempts to control it. While capturing such brutality may be unsettling for some viewers, it also prompts us to reflect on our responsibility towards these magnificent creatures that share our planet. This photograph stands as evidence of past mistakes made within zoos and reminds us of the importance of ethical treatment and conservation efforts today. Preserved by Bridgeman Images from London Metropolitan Archives' collection held by City of London Corporation, this thought-provoking artwork invites us into a historical narrative that continues to resonate with contemporary discussions surrounding animal welfare.
