EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting engraving captures a poignant moment from Victor Hugo's iconic novel "Les Miserables" - Cosette with the Thenardiers, sitting under the table in 19th century France. The atmosphere is heavy with sadness and melancholy as Eponine and Azelma play with a cat nearby, highlighting the stark contrast between innocence and cruelty.
The detailed engraving by Adrien Marie for an edition of Hugo's work in the late 19th century brings to life the poverty and hardship faced by characters like Cosette, trapped in a world of unhappiness and forlornness. The intricate lines and shading evoke a sense of emotion that is palpable, drawing viewers into the scene as if they were witnessing it firsthand.
As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the power of literature to illuminate societal issues such as poverty and precariousness. Through his writing, Victor Hugo sheds light on the struggles of those living on the margins of society, inviting us to empathize with their plight.
This print serves as a timeless reminder of the enduring relevance of "Les Miserables" and its themes of resilience, compassion, and redemption. It is a testament to both Hugo's literary genius and Adrien Marie's artistic skill in capturing the essence of this classic tale through his engravings.
