EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a pivotal moment from Jules Verne's timeless adventure novel, "Around the World in Eighty Days". The scene depicts Passepartout, one of the main characters, diligently extinguishing a gas-light. With illustrations by Alphonse-Marie-Adolphe de Neuville and Leon Benett, this print showcases the incredible attention to detail that brings Verne's words to life. Intriguingly set in the 19th century, this image transports us back to an era where gas lamps illuminated dimly lit interiors. Passepartout's task symbolizes his resourcefulness and adaptability as he embarks on Phileas Fogg's audacious journey around the globe. As he carefully turns off the burner, we can almost feel his determination to conserve energy and waste nothing during their race against time. The illustration not only highlights Passepartout's character but also emphasizes themes of travel, adventure, and exploration that permeate throughout Verne's literary masterpiece. It serves as a visual reminder of the excitement and challenges faced by these intrepid adventurers as they navigate various cultures and landscapes across continents. With its evocative composition and intricate engravings by Louis Dumont and Adolphe François Pannemaker, this print is a testament to both artistic skill and storytelling prowess. A true treasure for fans of classic literature or those captivated by historical imagery, it offers a glimpse into an era long gone yet forever immortalized through artistry.
