EDITORS COMMENTS

Jules Verne's novel "De la Terre à la Lune" inspired not only readers, but also engineers and scientists to push the boundaries of what was possible. The timber timbers used in constructing this pit serve as a reminder of the craftsmanship and ingenuity of those who came before us. The French setting adds an air of sophistication and elegance to this scene, highlighting Europe's role in advancing technology and exploration. From literature to actuality, this engraving captures the essence of human ambition and curiosity. The combination of artistry and engineering showcased here is truly awe-inspiring. Let us marvel at the visionaries who dared to dream big and reach for the stars, quite literally in this case. This print serves as a testament to our endless pursuit of knowledge and discovery.
