EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a thrilling moment from Jules Verne's renowned adventure novel, "The children of Captain Grant: The bird kidnapped Robert by his clothes". Illustrated by Edouard Riou in 1868, this engraving showcases the extraordinary imagination and literary genius of Verne. In this scene, we witness a heart-pounding encounter between a fearless child named Robert and an audacious bird. As the young protagonist innocently explores his surroundings, he becomes an unwitting target for this raptor's mischievous intentions. With its powerful talons firmly gripping onto Robert's clothes, the bird takes flight into the unknown, leaving us on tenterhooks about what lies ahead for our courageous hero. Verne's ability to intertwine elements of childhood innocence with high-stakes adventure is masterfully depicted in this artwork. It serves as a reminder that even in the most unexpected circumstances, youth can display remarkable resilience and bravery. Edouard Riou skillfully brings Verne's words to life through intricate details and dynamic composition. Every stroke of his engraving conveys both the danger lurking within nature and the boundless possibilities that lie beyond our comfort zones. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, let us be transported back to a time when literature ignited our imaginations and inspired us to embark on daring escapades alongside unforgettable characters like Robert.
