EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a thrilling moment from Jules Verne's timeless adventure novel, "Around the World in Eighty Days". The engraving depicts a scene of urgency and chaos as the protagonist, Jean Passepartout, races through the streets of Victorian London. His hair is disheveled and hatless, symbolizing his haste and disregard for convention. In this action-packed illustration by Hippolyte Leon Benett, we witness Passepartout knocking down foot-passengers in his desperate rush. The artist skillfully portrays the character's wild determination to complete his daring journey around the world within eighty days. The 19th-century street scene comes alive with bustling pedestrians who are caught off guard by Passepartout's reckless sprint. With every stride he takes, our hearts race alongside him as we feel the urgent energy pulsating through this iconic moment. Verne's gripping tale of travel and adventure has enthralled readers for generations, and this image perfectly encapsulates its spirit. It transports us back to a time when exploration was filled with danger and excitement. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving from 1873, we cannot help but be drawn into Passepartout's frantic quest. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder that sometimes it is in moments of disorder that true character shines through - an enduring testament to human resilience and determination.
