EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to witness the awe-inspiring power of a war elephant in combat. From the pages of L Histoire Universelle Ancienne et Moderne, published in Strasbourg around 1860, this engraving showcases the might and grandeur of these magnificent creatures. Intricately detailed, we see an enormous elephant adorned with ancient armor, ready for battle. Its colossal size is matched only by its strength and determination. Perched atop its sturdy back stands an archer, poised with his bow and arrow, ready to unleash destruction upon any enemy that dares to challenge them. Surrounded by soldiers on foot and mounted cavalrymen armed with spears, this scene depicts a fierce battlefield where every warrior fights valiantly for victory. The intensity of the combat is palpable as each participant plays their part in this ancient conflict. The historical significance captured within this image cannot be understated. It serves as a reminder of the ingenuity humans have displayed throughout history when it comes to warfare tactics and weaponry. Moreover, it highlights our relationship with animals - how they were harnessed for our purposes even amidst such violent circumstances. As we gaze at this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are transported back centuries ago to witness firsthand the ferocity and bravery exhibited during battles fought long ago.
