EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back to 19th century France, where an old woman stands in her humble kitchen. The illustration was created by Riou for Jules Verne's renowned novel, "Voyage au centre de la Terre" published in 1867. The scene depicts a moment of quiet domesticity as the elderly woman tends to her daily tasks. Her weathered face tells stories of a life well-lived, while her surroundings reflect the simplicity and charm of traditional French homes. The artist's attention to detail brings every element to life – from the rustic furniture and utensils hanging on the walls to the flickering candle casting gentle shadows across the room. Jules Verne, a celebrated writer known for his imaginative tales, chose this evocative image as an introduction to his novel. It hints at the ordinary lives that are about to embark on extraordinary adventures within the pages of his book. Patrice Cartier's print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also invites us into a world long gone yet still resonating with familiarity. As we gaze upon this enchanting illustration, we can almost smell the aroma of home-cooked meals and hear whispers of stories passed down through generations. In this artwork lies both nostalgia for simpler times and admiration for timeless storytelling that continues to captivate readers even today.
