An anthropomorphized cartoon elephant's face wearing an expression of surprise, vectorized by openclipart.org user @liftarn from Knockout Fun Book 1953, underlaid with stacked path objects to provide color. Some contours were changed slightly.

The elephant is probably surprised because it's just heard a rebroadcast reading of George Orwell's 1936 essay “Shooting an Elephant” about British imperialism on BBC Radio, or seen the compilation Shooting an Elephant and Other Essays, published in 1950, at Foyles in London. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_an_Elephant
