EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) takes us back to a time when the concept of space travel was merely a figment of imagination. In this wood engraving, we are transported to Paris in 1865, where Jules Verne's groundbreaking novel "Autour de la Lune" had just been published. The image depicts an extraordinary scene: chickens being fed inside a space capsule. It is a testament to Verne's unparalleled ability to blend science and fiction seamlessly. As we gaze at the intricate details of the engraving, we can almost feel ourselves floating weightlessly alongside these brave astronauts and their feathered companions. The artist's skillful use of lines and shading brings forth a sense of wonder and excitement that must have captivated readers during that era. The delicate engravings capture every nuance, from the expressions on the chickens' faces as they peck at their food pellets, to the meticulous design of the capsule itself. This wood engraving not only serves as a visual representation of Verne's literary masterpiece but also reminds us how far humanity has come in its quest for exploration beyond our earthly boundaries. It is an homage to both scientific progress and human imagination – two forces that continue to push us forward into uncharted territories. As we admire this historical artwork, let it serve as a reminder that even in times when dreams seem impossible or outlandish, there is always room for innovation and discovery.
