EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving by Herbert Johnson, we witness a remarkable display of compassion and unity among the magnificent creatures of the wild. Titled "Circumventing, the Elephant-Capturer" it depicts a heartwarming scene where female elephants come together to rescue a vulnerable youngster from an ominous pitfall. The image transports us to a dense jungle setting, where these majestic animals roam freely. The intricate details in Johnson's work bring every element to life - from the lush foliage surrounding them to the intense expressions on their faces. As we observe with bated breath, two adult female elephants stand at either side of the treacherous pitfall, their trunks extended towards the trapped young elephant. Their eyes reflect determination and concern as they collaborate in their noble mission to save one of their own. This powerful portrayal reminds us of nature's inherent instinct for protection and nurturing. It showcases not only the strength and intelligence possessed by these gentle giants but also highlights their deep emotional bonds within family units. Johnson's engraving originally appeared in The Graphic on November 18th, 1893 - an era when such illustrations were highly valued for both educational and entertainment purposes. Today, this timeless artwork serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst adversity, unity and empathy can triumph over all obstacles.
