EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving, based on a drawing by Emile Bayard from a 19th-century edition of Jules Verne's "Round the Moon" transports us to an era of daring exploration and boundless imagination. The scene depicts the triumphant return of Barbicane, Ardan, and Nicholl to Earth after their incredible journey into space. The print showcases the three intrepid adventurers in a small rowboat, bravely navigating the vast ocean that separates them from their homeland. With determination etched on their faces, they row with all their might towards America's shores. Behind them lies a magnificent steamboat billowing clouds of smoke as it speeds through the water, symbolizing progress and technological advancement. As they approach land, we see Old Glory proudly waving in the wind atop a flagpole planted firmly on American soil. This patriotic touch reminds us of the courage and spirit these men embody as they push boundaries for scientific discovery. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke captures both the excitement and trepidation felt during this historic splashdown moment. The swirling waves beneath their boat evoke a sense of motion and urgency while also highlighting nature's power compared to man-made vessels. This enchanting wood engraving not only pays homage to Jules Verne's visionary storytelling but also serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and adventure. It invites viewers to reflect upon our innate desire for exploration while celebrating those who dare to dream beyond what seems possible.
