In the 20th century, the model makers added a wide variety of exotic animals to Nymphenburg’s repertoire of figures. August Göhring’s lifelike depictions were particularly impressive. The Hellabrunn Zoo provided him with the ideal conditions for his tireless studies of the living subject, and in 1940 gave rise to a plethora of elephants in different poses. Among them is this diminutive, ten centimetre high elephant, raising its trunk in a salute.
