Jules Verne (1828-1905), the visionary writer who captured the imaginations of readers worldwide, is depicted in various forms throughout history. In Gill's artwork titled "The men of today, " we see Jules Verne pinching the earth to his pen, symbolizing his ability to shape worlds with his words. This image perfectly encapsulates Verne's extraordinary talent for crafting captivating stories. One such masterpiece is "20, 000 Leagues Under the Seas, " a novel that continues to enthrall audiences even after more than a century since its publication. The frontispiece and title page of this iconic work feature an intricate vignette by Riou from the Hetzel collection/Voyages extraordinaire 1870 edition. It showcases the awe-inspiring underwater world that Captain Nemo and his submarine Nautilus navigate through. Engravings further bring Verne's vivid imagination to life in illustrations for "20, 000 Leagues Under the Sea" and "Ile Mysterieuse. " These detailed artworks transport us into mysterious realms filled with adventure and intrigue. Verne's literary prowess extends beyond fantastical tales; he also delves into everyday life with works like "From the Earth to the Moon. " A lithograph illustration captures our attention as it depicts scenes from this remarkable story published in 1865. Not only did Verne create unforgettable characters within his novels, but he himself was an intriguing figure. A portrait by Louis Paul Pierre Dumont portrays Phileas Fogg, one of Verne's most beloved characters from "Le tour du monde en eighty jours. " This depiction offers insight into Fogg's adventurous spirit and determination. In photographs taken at different times during his life, we catch glimpses of Jules Verne himself - sitting at his desk in Amiens or engrossed in writing. These images provide a glimpse into the mind behind these extraordinary tales – a man whose imagination knew no bounds.
