EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled ""Tom, " the Duke of Edinburghs Elephant" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Henry Woods in 1872, this print showcases the remarkable bond between man and beast. Intriguingly, "Tom" was not just any ordinary elephant. He belonged to none other than the Duke of Edinburgh himself, a member of the British royal family. This enchanting illustration originally appeared in The Graphic on January 27th, 1872. The image transports us to an era when elephants played a crucial role in maritime expeditions and military campaigns. Tom proudly represents the Royal Navy's association with these majestic creatures during that time. As we delve into this artwork, we can't help but imagine Tom's immense strength as he stands tall beside his human companions. His presence exudes loyalty and dedication towards serving his country alongside army troops and armed forces. This engraving is not merely a depiction of an animal; it symbolizes unity between different elements - humans from various walks of life coming together for a common cause under the banner of royalty. It serves as a reminder that even amidst conflicts or challenges, harmony can be achieved through collaboration. Preserved within this private collection, this piece continues to inspire awe and curiosity about our shared past. Its timeless beauty invites us to reflect upon history while appreciating both artistic skill and historical significance simultaneously.
