EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a poignant moment from Victor Hugo's timeless novel "Les Miserables". In the scene, Cosette, a young girl living in poverty, discovers a valuable piece of gold (louis d'or) hidden in her horse's hoof by the kind-hearted Jean Valjean. The intricate details and emotion conveyed in this 19th-century artwork by Adrien Marie truly bring the story to life. As Cosette gazes down at the unexpected treasure, her face reflects a mix of wonder and gratitude. The contrast between her innocence and the harsh realities of her circumstances is palpable, reminding us of the struggles faced by those on society's margins during that era. The black-and-white aesthetic adds depth to the engraving, emphasizing the starkness of Cosette's world while highlighting the purity of her spirit. Through this image, we are transported back to a time when acts of kindness like Jean Valjean's were rare but powerful gestures that could change lives. This print serves as a visual reminder of Victor Hugo's enduring themes of compassion, resilience, and hope in the face of adversity. It is a testament to both the artist's skill and Hugo's ability to capture universal truths about humanity through his storytelling.
