EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the haunting beauty of "La Masure Gorbeau" a 19th-century house that served as a hideout for Jean Valjean and Cosette in Victor Hugo's iconic novel, Les Misérables. The image, created by Francis Fowke and Henry Scott, takes us back to the rundown building where these beloved characters sought refuge from Inspector Javert. The derelict nature of the house is evident in its depiction; it stands as a symbol of their desperate circumstances. With its broken windows and crumbling facade, this hovel becomes an unlikely sanctuary for those on the run. As we gaze upon this illustration, we can almost feel the tension and fear that permeated every corner of their hidden abode. Victor Hugo himself was not only a writer but also a poet, novelist, and dramatist who played a significant role in shaping French literature during the Romantic movement. His works continue to captivate readers worldwide with their profound themes and vivid storytelling. This print offers us a glimpse into one of Hugo's most memorable settings while reminding us of his enduring legacy as one of France's greatest literary figures. It serves as both an homage to his genius and an invitation to delve deeper into his rich oeuvre.
