EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from the renowned book "From the Earth to the Moon" by Jules Verne. Published in 1865, this edition by Hetzel features a stunning engraving created by Henri de Montaut. The artwork depicts one of the remarkable characters from the novel, Michel Ardan, who was inspired by the famous photographer Nadar. The image transports us back to the 19th century, immersing us in its enchanting atmosphere. With intricate details and expert craftsmanship, Montaut brings Ardan's character to life on paper. The fictional figure is portrayed as both wonderful and monstrous, capturing our imagination with his unique persona. Jules Verne himself was a celebrated writer during this era, known for his visionary storytelling that blended science fiction with adventure. His works continue to captivate readers even today. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also pays homage to literary excellence. It reminds us of the power of words and how they can transport us beyond our earthly boundaries into realms unknown. A true masterpiece in every sense, this engraving beautifully captures both fashion trends of the time and Verne's imaginative world-building skills. Its timeless appeal makes it a must-have for any art enthusiast or lover of classic literature alike.
