a visual anthology
KORTE INHOUD
When Elephants Come to Town
‘Through this extraordinary selection of photographs and accompanying text,
we follow elephants on their journey from Ancient Rome to Coney Island and
beyond. Across battlefields and city bridges, in railway cars and circus rings,
adored, applauded and at times brutally mistreated, elephants have truly come
to town.’
James Attlee
When Elephants Come to Town is a visual celebration of man’s timeless fascination with the world’s largest land animal through the medium of photography. The joy and excitement elephants arouse when they make an appearance in our lives is brought to life through a combination of iconic photographs by, amongst others, Garry Winogrand and unattributed, archival material.
Rather than a series of contemporary nature photographs, the book is a collection of exceptional images from around the world of elephants in captivity, dating from Victorian times to the height of circus culture in the mid-20th century, many of them taken by anonymous photographers.
