EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from Les Miserables, we witness the tender and protective nature of Jean Valjean as he watches over Cosette while she peacefully slumbers. The illustration beautifully captures the essence of their relationship, portraying a fatherly figure guarding his beloved daughter with unwavering devotion. The scene is set against a backdrop of poverty and destitution, highlighting the harsh realities faced by both characters. Jean Valjean's weathered face reflects years of struggle and hardship, yet his eyes are filled with an overwhelming love for Cosette. He wraps her in a warm blanket, shielding her from the coldness of their surroundings. This image not only showcases the bond between father and child but also symbolizes themes such as compassion, sacrifice, and resilience found throughout Victor Hugo's masterpiece. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of adversity, love can provide solace and strength. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but be moved by the profound emotions it evokes. It reminds us that amidst life's trials and tribulations, there is always room for tenderness and care. This engraving immortalizes one of literature's most iconic relationships - one that transcends societal barriers to demonstrate the power of unconditional love.
