14 Elephant Images
Today we have a fun collection of Elephant Images! These beautiful large Animals are such majestic creatures. We have a wide variety of Vintage pictures for you in this set. Included are some brightly dressed Circus Elephant Clip Art Pictures as well as more Natural looking illustrations. There is also a nice offering of black and white pictures including a Silhouette and some retro style graphics. I think there is always something so special about Animal images. Especially those who might be endangered like the generally kind natured Elephants. All of these are nice pictures to use in your craft or DIY Projects along with your Animal Themed Projects! I could certainly imagine a junk journal theme with this lovely creature!
Circus Elephant Pictures

This one is a wonderful Circus Elephant Die Cut all dressed in his fancy Costume! The graphic is part of a set from a Circus Animal Series. I think he has the cutest sweet expression on his face. He appears to be a true gentle giant!
Such a well drawn graphic is seen above! The pretty colors and seemingly perfect scale is quite impressive. I love the little Fairy riding in the chariot on this one.
Vintage Elephant Images
This is a beautiful Antique Natural History Animal Image. He looks quite beautiful with his long tusks and his curved trunk.
Here we have a Vintage Ephemera Certificate Image! This is a Reward Of Merit Certificate with an Elephant and Rhino on it. The certificate also has a border with red and green leaves.
I often get asked to post more of the little Victorian game cards that I have in my collection, so I’m posting a nice #72 Elephant one here. He is so Cute!!
Pictured above is such an adorable Vintage Image! Shown is an illustration of two animals… a Mama and her precious Baby! Scanned from an 1880’s German Natural History Book, this one is surely to be a favorite!
This natural history image shows are wonderful wild animal on a little plot of earth with a few flowers.
Here is another one of these lovely large wild animals!
Here is the latest addition to this collection. Here we see an Elephant walking on dirt or sand. He looks like he might be a younger one.
Black and White Elephant Clip Art
The next offering are these Fantastic Vintage Elephant Pictures! Scanned from a rare Antique Printer’s book that most likely dates to around the 1880’s, it is a super fun Graphic featuring this beautiful animal carrying a Sign. The blank sign on the second image is perfect for adding some Text, as is the blanket around his torso.
This is another fun Vintage Label from the 1880’s Type book. Love that book! Anyway, this one shows an Elephant wearing Boots. There are two blank spaces where you can add a message. So quirky and cute!
Featured above is a Cute Retro Elephant with little curly tail who is Advertising Graphics! This smiling creature is advertising a “Don’t Forget” of some sort.
This is a wonderful Circus Elephant Clip Art Silhouette! Part of a fab Circus Set, this talented animal is balancing on a small box, making for such a classic looking graphic. I hope you like him!!
I hope you enjoyed this fun curated collection of Elephant Images! You might also like our Circus Image Collection HERE and our Animal Image Set HERE.

I adore the image of the mama elephant and her baby and will use it to create a novel kind of Mother’s Day image for my Facebook page.
But ~ the circus images are a no go for me. I wish you’d just get rid of them as they do not reflect the feelings and beliefs of most people today. Circuses = cruelty and we know that’s not what The Graphics Fairy is about. The fact that there are so few images of elephants in their natural state is a testament to how they have only ever been used for entertainment, labor and other forms of exploitation.
That said, I appreciate how much work you put into your website so we can enjoy charming images that we might not otherwise find and I thank you for that!
Best,

Hi Victoria. We really appreciate your feedback about the circus images. Many of our images are vintage and reflect the time they were created, but we understand your concerns and will keep them in mind for future collections. Thanks again for your thoughtful message and support!

Hi Karen,
I love the Mama and her precious baby alongside her. i also love the ones behind the fairy in the chariot. They are precious! I’m not about any who are forced into the circuses. They have never interested me as a child because that is not their kind of domain. These animals are to be free, not captured for stuff like that. Thank you for sharing these with us – I always enjoy and appreciate what you find for us.
Have a wonderful Mother’s Day and enjoy your week!
Keep safe!
Karen Watson says
Yes, so true Irene. They are beautiful intelligent animals that should be free.

It is ok to view history, by viewing history one is not necessarily promoting any bad acts. History cannot be erased but we can learn from it. Deborah
Karen Watson says
Thank you Deborah.
Elizabeth Tyrrell says
I agree 100%
Angela Hoynes says
Thank you for these pictures, I would prefer seeing all animals wild and free too.

Thanks Angela, me too 🙂
Mimi says
I love the detailed animal images, but hate the fact that elephants are tortured and beaten and chained to force them to perform silly, unnatural circus tricks, that no one wants to see anymore. Wild Animals should not be caged and drugged and beaten to force them to “entertain” humans! Circuses with animal acts should be, and are being phased out worldwide.
graphicsfairy says
I understand completely Mimi and hate the thought of any animal ever being harmed in any way!!

Amen!
