EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the timeless adventure novel, "Around the World in Eighty Days" by Jules Verne. The image showcases Passepartout, one of the main characters, donning a pair of wings on his back as he follows closely behind. Engraved by Adolphe François Pannemaker in 1873, this artwork beautifully depicts the essence of travel and exploration. The setting takes place on board a steamship named Tankadere during a Pacific crossing. Passepartout's disguise adds an element of intrigue to this 19th-century tale set in Victorian times. As we delve into the story, we are transported to various exotic locations across the globe alongside Phileas Fogg and his loyal servant Passepartout. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every stroke brings life to each character and their surroundings. This illustration not only serves as a visual representation but also evokes feelings of excitement and curiosity within us. As we gaze upon this print, it reminds us of the power that literature holds - its ability to transport us beyond our own reality into worlds filled with adventure and discovery. It serves as a testament to Jules Verne's genius storytelling and continues to captivate readers even today. This print is truly an exquisite piece that celebrates both artistry and literary brilliance – an homage to Verne's masterpiece that has stood the test of time.
