EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Night came on, and Passepartout returned to the town" transports us into the world of Jules Verne's timeless adventure novel, "Around the World in Eighty Days". Created by Louis Prevost in 1873 and now part of a private collection, this print beautifully captures a pivotal moment in the story. As dusk settles over a picturesque rural landscape, we see Passepartout, one of Verne's beloved characters, making his way back to town. Disguised and enigmatic, he embodies the spirit of travel and adventure that permeates throughout the book. The enchanting Japanese countryside serves as an evocative backdrop for this scene. The artist skillfully employs intricate details and delicate lines to convey both tranquility and anticipation. The soft glow emanating from lanterns illuminates Passepartout's path home while adding depth to the nocturnal atmosphere. It is as if time stands still in this Victorian era setting. Verne's literary masterpiece takes readers on an extraordinary journey around the globe within a strict timeframe. This print encapsulates not only Passepartout's personal voyage but also symbolizes humanity's eternal quest for discovery beyond familiar horizons. Whether you are an avid reader or simply appreciate art that tells stories, this exquisite engraving invites you to immerse yourself in Verne's world of imagination and embark on your own adventure through its rich imagery.
