Elephants have been recruited by men to help with construction, transport and other work. In front of La Madeleine the industrious pachyderms work away in partnership with their human companions. Blake’s tableaux makes us imagine a Paris where this wonderful sight is an everyday scenario, as the figures in the background go about their daily business unperturbed.
