EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to 1856 as we witness a moment of quiet contemplation. Abbe Prevost, the renowned French author, is engrossed in reading his own literary masterpiece, "Manon Lescaut". The image captures him in an intimate setting - a luxurious boudoir adorned with elegant furnishings. As our eyes wander around the room, we notice a Jesuit screen standing tall behind Prevost. Its presence adds an air of mystique and secrecy to the scene. A small lap dog rests comfortably at his side, serving as both companion and confidant. Prevost's audience seems to extend beyond the physical realm; he appears deep in thought while surrounded by characters from his novel who have come alive within his imagination. Perhaps they whisper words of encouragement or critique into his ear as he delves further into their world. The details within this photograph are exquisite - from the intricately designed hair tongs resting on a nearby table to Prevost's perfectly coiffed hair that suggests recent attention from skilled hands of a hairdresser. This print offers us an intriguing glimpse into history and invites us to ponder upon the creative process that birthed one of literature's most beloved works. It serves as a reminder that even great authors find solace in immersing themselves within their own creations.
