EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from Jules Verne's timeless novel "Around the World in Eighty Days" we witness a pivotal moment as Passepartout, one of the story's beloved characters, exclaims with great emotion, "My Shoes!". The scene is beautifully captured by Adolphe François Pannemaker's skilled hand and brought to life through Benett Hippolyte Léon's masterful reproduction. As readers delve into Verne's thrilling tale of adventure and travel, they are transported to a world where Phileas Fogg embarks on an audacious journey around the globe. In this particular instance, our protagonist finds himself amidst a courtroom drama in Calcutta during his race against time. Passepartout’s outcry over his shoes serves as a crucial piece of evidence that could potentially alter their fate. This enchanting illustration not only showcases the artistic brilliance behind 19th-century engravings but also encapsulates the essence of Verne’s literary genius. It reminds us of the intricate details woven throughout his narrative – from vivid descriptions of far-flung destinations to compelling character development. Through this print, we are reminded that literature has the power to transport us beyond our own reality and immerse us in worlds filled with excitement and intrigue. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost hear Passepartout’s cry echoing through time and space – a testament to both Verne’s enduring legacy and the boundless imagination he instills within his readers.
