EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Lucien de Rubempre's arduous journey from Tours to Poitiers. Walking for five consecutive days, he trudges through the picturesque French countryside, his determination evident in every step. The illustration is taken from Honore de Balzac's renowned novel, "Les Illusions perdues" a part of his literary masterpiece, La Comedie Humaine. Lucien, an ambitious and aspiring poet, leaves behind his provincial life in Angouleme with hopes of making a name for himself in Paris. Clutching a walking stick and donning a hat that shields him from both the elements and the harsh realities he faces on this path to success, Lucien embodies the struggles faced by many careerists striving for recognition. The image exudes a sense of poverty and failure as Lucien battles against all odds to escape his humble beginnings. The artist skillfully portrays Lucien's longing for something greater than what his province can offer him. As we gaze upon this evocative engraving by Emile Lassalle, we are transported into the world of Lost Illusions where dreams collide with reality. This powerful visual narrative reminds us that ambition knows no bounds but also serves as a poignant reminder that not all journeys lead to triumph. It encapsulates both the beauty and hardships encountered along one man's quest for artistic fulfillment in 19th-century France.
