Inspired by Jules Verne's renowned novel, this engraving by Louis Dumont transports us to the bustling bazaars of 19th-century Egypt. In this scene, we find ourselves amidst a vibrant market, filled with exotic sights and sounds. The protagonist of the story, Phileas Fogg, stands at the center of attention as he proudly displays his cherished family heirloom – a magnificent chronometer. With an air of confidence and determination, Fogg proclaims that this is not just any ordinary timepiece but one steeped in history and tradition. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to an era when adventure and exploration were revered. The intricate details captured by Alphonse Marie de Neuville bring to life the essence of travel and discovery during the Victorian era.
