EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "WHITE ELEPHANT, c1884. Poster for Adam Forepaughs Circus promoting the Light of Asia a supposedly white elephant, c1884" takes us back to the late 19th century America, where entertainment and deception often went hand in hand. The poster showcases an intriguing scene from Adam Forepaugh's Circus, a renowned circus company of that era. The centerpiece is a majestic white elephant, believed to be sacred in some cultures due to its rarity. However, as we delve deeper into the image, we realize that this so-called "white elephant" might not be what it seems. The text on the poster hints at fraud and fake allure surrounding this spectacle. It raises questions about whether this creature truly possesses divine qualities or if it is merely an illusion created for entertainment purposes. This ambiguity adds an air of mystery to the image. As we study every detail captured by the photographer from Granger Art on Demand, we are transported back in time to witness how circus companies like Forepaugh's used clever marketing tactics to attract audiences seeking both amusement and wonderment. This print serves as a reminder of how art can capture moments in history that provoke curiosity and spark our imagination even after centuries have passed.
