EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Illustration from Les Miserables" depicts a poignant scene from Victor Hugo's renowned novel. Created by Alphonse Marie de Neuville in the 19th century, this print showcases the dramatic moment when Fantine, a female character, is unjustly dismissed from Madame Madeleine's factory after her pregnancy is discovered. The illustration skillfully captures the emotions of both men and women involved in this heart-wrenching event. Fantine pleads for mercy, her face filled with desperation as she begs to keep her job secret. The male figures surrounding her depict a mix of indifference and pity as they witness her dismissal. Victor Hugo, an esteemed French writer of the Romantic movement, authored Les Miserables and is celebrated as one of France's greatest literary icons. His powerful storytelling sheds light on social injustices prevalent during his time. Through this evocative engraving, viewers are transported into the world of Les Miserables—a tale that explores themes of poverty, love, sacrifice, and redemption. The intricate details captured in this artwork bring depth to the characters' struggles while highlighting their resilience amidst adversity. As we gaze upon this historical image preserved within a private collection today thanks to Prismatic Pictures and Bridgeman Images' efforts, we are reminded once again of Victor Hugo's enduring legacy and his ability to touch hearts through his masterful storytelling.
