EDITORS COMMENTS

Published in 1886 by Hetzel in Paris, this illustration captures the essence of adventure and science fiction that Verne is celebrated for.

The Albatross soars gracefully above clouds, evoking a sense of freedom and wonderment.

Verne's story revolves around Robur the Conqueror, who harnesses this remarkable aircraft to embark on daring expeditions across uncharted territories.
