EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant and diverse culture of Hindoos from Jules Verne's renowned novel, "Around the World in Eighty Days". The image showcases a bustling scene along the banks of a river, where both men and women are engaged in various activities. The intricate engraving by Benett beautifully brings to life the illustrations by Alphonse-Marie-Adolphe de Neuville and Leon Benett. The crowd is teeming with energy as people go about their daily routines. Women can be seen gracefully bathing in the river, while men engage in conversations or perhaps prepare for their own cleansing rituals. The atmosphere is filled with an air of adventure and exploration, reflecting the spirit of Verne's iconic literary work. Set against a backdrop of lush landscapes, this 19th-century depiction transports us back to a time when travel was an extraordinary feat. It offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Hindu culture during that era – from traditional clothing to religious practices – all captured within this single frame. As we observe this mesmerizing scene, it serves as a reminder that literature has the power to transport us across continents and immerse us in different cultures. This enchanting print not only pays homage to Jules Verne's timeless tale but also celebrates diversity and curiosity about our world.
