EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration from Jules Verne's novel 'The Ice Sphinx', we are transported to the vast expanse of the polar seas. The crew of a sailboat finds themselves at sea towards the Pole, their eyes filled with wonder as they witness a magnificent sight - a group of majestic whales swimming gracefully through the icy waters. Drawn by George Roux and engraved by Hamel, this artwork beautifully captures the sense of adventure and exploration that permeates Verne's writing. The intricate details in Roux's drawing bring to life not only the sailors on board but also the awe-inspiring presence of these endangered creatures. As our gaze follows the ship's crew, we can almost feel their excitement and anticipation for what lies ahead. The towering iceberg in the background serves as a reminder of both nature's beauty and its formidable power. This image is not just an illustration; it is an invitation to embark on a journey into uncharted territories, where man encounters untamed wilderness and learns to appreciate its delicate balance. It reminds us of our responsibility to protect these incredible animals and their habitats. Through this print, artist Patrice Cartier invites us to immerse ourselves in Verne's world, where imagination meets reality on an expedition towards discovery.
