Description: Harper's Weekly October 21, 1871 page Woodcut EngravingRiding The Elephant in The London Zoological Gardens - An Elephant Ride11" x 16" tall Reverse has an article on Chicago, Cundurango of Ecuador and Advertisements from 1871. "In 1865, Jumbo, the largest elephant known at the time, was transferred to the zoo from Jardin des Plantes in Paris. His name, possibly from Jambo, Swahili for hello, became an epithet for anything of large size, such as Boeing's 747 Jumbo jet. Jumbo became a crowd favourite due to his size, and would give rides to children on his back, including those of Queen Victoria. The sale of Jumbo sent the citizens of London into a panic, and 100,000 school children wrote to the Queen begging her to stop the sale. He was sold to Phineas Barnum's circus, the Barnum & Bailey Circus, in 1882, where he was later crushed by a locomotive and killed." Wikipedia
