EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 19th century and immersed in the world of Jules Verne's "The Carpathian Castle". Count Franz de Telek, haunted by the memory of his lost love La Stilla, finds himself in Transylvania seeking solace. Little does he know that fate has a cruel trick up its sleeve. As Count Franz gazes upon an eerie castle owned by his former rival for La Stilla's affections, Baron Rodolphe de Gortz, he is struck with disbelief. A figure resembling his beloved prima donna appears before him. Is it truly her? Or is it merely a holographic illusion designed to deceive him? The mystery deepens as Count Franz delves further into this supernatural deception. The gothic atmosphere surrounding the Carpathian Castle only adds to the sense of unease and trepidation. Every corner holds secrets waiting to be unraveled. This illustration captures both the beauty and haunting nature of this tale. It serves as a reminder that love can transcend even death itself, blurring the lines between reality and illusion. As we gaze at this mesmerizing image, we are drawn into a world where apparitions roam freely and trickery abounds. The intricate details of the engraving bring life to Verne's words, allowing us to experience firsthand Count Franz's journey through deception and deceit. Let us marvel at this snapshot from history—a moment frozen in time—where science fiction meets romance in a realm shrouded in mystery and enchantment.
