Title:	The Last of Jumbo
Artist:	Jellicoe, John (London, 1843 - 1909)
Date:	1882
Medium:	Original Pen and Ink Drawing
Note:	John Jellicoe: A fine figure painter and illustrator, John Jellicoe studied art in London and exhibited his first drawings there in 1865. During the following fifteen years he established a strong reputation for his pen and ink drawings, paintings and watercolours which were exhibited at the Society of British Artists and at the Royal Academy. Jellicoe was most highly regarded in the genre of figure studies and he was frequently commissioned for his work by the Illustrated London News, St. Paul's, The Windsor Magazine and The Sporting and Dramatic News. John Jellicoe also illustrated a number of children's books such as, Queen of Beauty (1894) and Cherry and Violet (1897).
	This original pen and ink drawing by John Jellicoe was commissioned by The Sporting and Dramatic News, in London. As is usual with original drawings for journals of this time, one will find small pinprick marks in the outer margins. These are registration marks used for photomechanical reproduction and thus prove that this drawing was actually employed as an illustration for the magazine on the specific date of March 20th, 1880.
	John Jellicoe worked as a leading artist for The Sporting and Dramatic News for a period of over fifteen years. As the title indicates, this publication mainly dealt with entertainment and sports news of the day. John Jellicoe's drawings covered a wide range, from contemporary London theatrical events, depictions of popular English resorts and feats of sporting heroics. The Last of Jumbo clearly falls into the latter category. Jumbo was the most famous elephant of the nineteenth century
