EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Jumbo Stuffed" takes us back to the 19th century, where taxidermy was an art form in itself. The image showcases a magnificent elephant, meticulously preserved and stuffed with great precision. This particular piece is part of a private collection, adding to its exclusivity and allure. The attention to detail in this engraving is truly remarkable. Every wrinkle on the elephant's skin, every crease on its trunk, has been faithfully captured by the skilled English School artist who created it. The texture of the animal's hide seems almost tangible as it leaps off the page. Originally published in The Graphic on Christmas Day in 1886, this illustration offers a glimpse into Victorian society's fascination with exotic creatures and their preservation through taxidermy. It serves as a testament to both scientific curiosity and artistic craftsmanship during that era. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection, we are transported back in time when Jumbo Stuffed would have undoubtedly captivated audiences with its sheer size and lifelike appearance. While not mentioning any commercial use or affiliation with any specific company, this artwork reminds us of humanity's enduring desire to preserve nature's wonders for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
