EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled ""Is your honour looking for a vessel?"" takes us back to the enchanting world of Jules Verne's classic novel, "Around the World in Eighty Days". Engraved by Louis Prevost in 1873, this image beautifully captures the essence of adventure and travel that permeates Verne's work. The scene depicts an intriguing moment at the docks, where a diverse array of ships are anchored. The central figure, possibly Phileas Fogg himself, stands tall and composed amidst the bustling activity. His gaze is fixed upon a Chinese boat named Tankadere as he engages in conversation with a local man. The air is thick with anticipation as Fogg seeks passage on this vessel to continue his daring journey around the globe. The intricate details of this engraving transport us to another era - Victorian times when maritime exploration was at its peak. From the intricately designed ships to the coastal landscape stretching into Hong Kong's horizon, every element invites us into an immersive literary experience. With its rich historical context and evocative imagery, this print not only pays homage to Jules Verne but also serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with tales of discovery and human resilience. It encapsulates both the spirit of adventure found within literature and our own innate desire to explore uncharted territories.
