London Zoo Staff Treating Elephant--1874

Jenny the elephant suffered from a paralyzed trunk and arthritis and died in 1875. In the past I have noted that a paralyzed trunk tends to run in pin/small headed elephants, with exceptions. Note Jenny's head structure. Although we should view any drawing/lithograph with suspicion, note also the condition of her toe nails. It might indicate she was a bit on the "tough " side.
