EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic duo of Phileas Fogg and Passepartout, brought to life from Jules Verne's timeless adventure novel, "Around the World in Eighty Days". Illustrated by Benett, Hippolyte Leon in the late 19th century, this engraving showcases the remarkable journey undertaken by these two characters. Phileas Fogg, a distinguished gentleman with favoris (sideburns) exudes an air of sophistication as he sits elegantly on an elephant. His top hat and cane add a touch of class to his attire while symbolizing his status as a well-traveled adventurer. Seated beside him is Passepartout, his loyal valet and servant. Dressed in traditional Indian clothing including a turban and carrying a walking stick, Passepartout embodies both style and practicality. The image transports us to India where they encounter new cultures and experiences during their quest to circumnavigate the globe within eighty days. The presence of an elephant driver or mahout further emphasizes their immersion into exotic landscapes. With its intricate details captured through engraving techniques, this print evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era when travel was seen as both daring and elegant. It serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of adventure stories that continue to captivate readers worldwide.
