EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Elephants Fighting, 1606" showcases the extraordinary talent of artist Theodore de Bry. Created during the 17th century, this piece is part of a series called "Journeys across India" engraved by De Bry himself in 1606. The image depicts two majestic elephants engaged in a fierce duel amidst the lush Indian jungle. The level of detail captured through De Bry's masterful engraving technique is truly remarkable. Each wrinkle on their weathered skin and every strand of vegetation in the background comes to life in monochrome splendor. In this metaphorical representation of conflict, we witness these magnificent creatures locked face to face, embodying strength and power. As an occupation or profession, hunting plays a significant role here as well - with hunters and trappers observing from outside the frame. The inclusion of calligraphy adds an additional layer to this artwork's narrative. Texts written alongside the illustration provide historical context about Hindoostan (India) during that time period. Overall, this print serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and a window into India's rich cultural heritage. It transports us back to the seventeenth century when artists like Theodore de Bry skillfully brought distant lands alive through their art media. A true treasure preserved by Heritage Images for generations to come.
