EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century brings to life a poignant moment from Victor Hugo's masterpiece, Les Miserables. Illustrated by Alphonse Marie de Neuville, it depicts Eponine, the eldest daughter of the Thenardiers, secretly delivering an important letter to Marius, her unrequited love. The scene exudes a sense of secrecy and longing as Eponine fulfills her clandestine mission. The artist skillfully captures the emotional turmoil within these characters through their expressions and body language. It is evident that this encounter holds great significance for both individuals involved. Victor Hugo, renowned French poet and novelist of the Romantic movement, created unforgettable characters like Eponine in his literary oeuvre. His works continue to resonate with readers worldwide due to their profound exploration of human nature and societal issues. This illustration not only showcases the talent of Alphonse Marie de Neuville but also pays homage to Victor Hugo's enduring legacy as one of France's greatest writers. Its inclusion in Cent dessins: Extraits des oeuvres de Victor Hugo further solidifies its importance in capturing key moments from Les Miserables. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to witness a tender exchange between two souls caught amidst tumultuous circumstances. It serves as a reminder of the power that literature possesses in evoking emotions and connecting us across generations.
