EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases an exquisite engraving by Hippolyte Leon Benett, depicting "The Albatross" from Jules Verne's renowned novel, Robur le Conquerant. Published in 1886 by Hetzel in Paris, this illustration captures the essence of adventure and science fiction that Verne is celebrated for. Intriguingly, the image portrays a flying machine unlike any other - a marvel of invention with its intricate screws that propel it through the skies. The Albatross soars gracefully above clouds, evoking a sense of freedom and wonderment. Its wingspan stretches wide like those of its namesake bird, symbolizing power and dominance over the vast expanse of air. Verne's story revolves around Robur the Conqueror, who harnesses this remarkable aircraft to embark on daring expeditions across uncharted territories. This iconic illustration perfectly encapsulates the spirit of exploration and innovation that permeates throughout his work. Brought to life through Bridgeman Images' meticulous reproduction process, this print allows us to appreciate every fine detail captured in Benett's engraving.
