Hubert Clerget, a talented artist and engraver, left an indelible mark on the world of illustration in the late 19th century. His intricate drawings captured the essence of various cities and cultures, transporting readers to far-off lands through his detailed engravings. In Old Amsterdam, Clerget's drawing depicted a quaint street bustling with life. The image accompanied Charles de Coster's captivating story "The Neerlande" in 1878. Through Clerget's skilled hand, readers were transported back in time to experience the charm and allure of this historical city. Dublin's Liberties came alive through another one of Clerget's engravings. Marie Anne de Bovet's tale "Trois mois en Irlande" was beautifully complemented by his artwork in Le tour du monde in 1889. From a corner of Dublin filled with character and history, readers could almost hear the echoes of Irish stories whispered among its ancient walls. Clerget also ventured across continents to capture scenes from San Francisco to Mongolia. In Sacramento Street, he illustrated William Hepworth Dixon's gripping story "La conquete blanche, " published in Le tour du monde in 1876. Through his engraving, we witness Californian miners diligently washing silver ore using hydraulic methods near San Francisco—a testament to their unwavering determination during the Gold Rush era. From there, our journey takes us all the way to Mongolia and Tangut as Lieutenant Colonel Prjewalski recounts his travels from 1870 to 1873. With Clerget’s drawing capturing a general view of a Buddhist chapel nestled amidst breathtaking landscapes—the reader is immersed into these distant lands where spirituality intertwines with nature. But it wasn't just exotic locales that fascinated Hubert Clerget; he also found beauty closer to home.
