EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Cosette, a beloved character from Victor Hugo's timeless novel Les Miserables. Illustrated by Emile Antoine Bayard in 1862, this representation showcases Cosette as a young girl, barefoot and diligently sweeping. The engraving beautifully portrays the hardships and poverty that defined her childhood. With a broom in hand, she symbolizes resilience and determination amidst adversity. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, bringing to life the innocence and vulnerability of this young pauper. Cosette's portrait evokes a sense of empathy as we witness her struggle through Stefano Bianchetti's lens. This illustration serves as a powerful reminder of the social injustices prevalent during that era. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to 19th century France - a time when youth like Cosette were forced into labor at an early age. Through its simplicity yet profoundness, this print encapsulates the themes of hardship and hope that resonate throughout Les Miserables. A true masterpiece captured on paper, this illustration reminds us not only of Victor Hugo's literary genius but also highlights the enduring power of art to evoke emotions and provoke thought even after centuries have passed.
