EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "An Elephant from the Sandy Wastes of Rajputana" transports us to the early 20th century British Empire in India. The image, a colour lithograph by Mortimer Ludington Menpes, captures the majestic presence of an elephant against the backdrop of the sandy wastes. The photograph was originally featured in "The Durbar" a book written by Dorothy Menpes with illustrations by Mortimer Menpes. Published in 1903, this book commemorated the grand durbar held that same year to celebrate Edward VII and Alexandra of Denmark's ascension as Emperor and Empress of India. Intriguingly, this artwork not only showcases the beauty and power of these magnificent creatures but also offers a glimpse into Indian culture during that time period. The elephant symbolizes strength, wisdom, and spirituality within Indian traditions. As we admire this stunning print from a private collection, it is impossible not to be captivated by its historical significance and artistic brilliance. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and cultural diversity across continents. This photograph is part of Bridgeman Images' vast collection on Fine Art Finder, providing art enthusiasts with access to remarkable pieces that transcend time and geography.
