EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled 'This Woman Was Young' takes us on a visual journey back in time to the enchanting world of Jules Verne's famous novel, 'Around the World in Eighty Days. ' Engraved by the talented Louis Dumont in 1873, this illustration beautifully captures the essence of adventure and mystery that permeates Verne's literary masterpiece. The image transports us to an exotic forest setting in India, where we find ourselves amidst a fascinating ritual. A young Indian woman, adorned with traditional attire including a turban and vine accessories, stands gracefully beside a sedan chair. Her expression exudes both curiosity and determination as she embarks on her own personal quest for exploration. As we delve deeper into the scene, our eyes are drawn to Phileas Fogg himself - the protagonist of Verne's story - who can be seen observing this intriguing spectacle from afar. The juxtaposition of his presence hints at an intertwining narrative between these two characters; perhaps their paths will cross during Fogg's daring circumnavigation of the globe. Through this evocative artwork, we are reminded of the timeless allure of travel and discovery. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly ordinary moments lies extraordinary potential for growth and transformation. This print is not only a testament to Jules Verne's enduring legacy but also celebrates female empowerment and courageously stepping outside one's comfort zone.
