EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported into the world of Jules Verne's iconic novel, "Around the World in Eighty Days". The scene depicts a pivotal moment where Fix, one of the story's intriguing characters, leans in close to whisper something secretive. Engraved by Henri-Theophile Hildebrand in 1873, this image beautifully captures the essence of adventure and mystery that permeates throughout Verne's work. The setting is an atmospheric tavern in China during the late 19th century. As we observe closely, it becomes apparent that Fix is not just any ordinary character; he is a detective on a mission. With his eyes gleaming with determination and his voice lowered to an under-tone, he implores someone to listen attentively. What could be so important? What secrets lie within these pages? The composition skillfully portrays the tension and anticipation surrounding this clandestine encounter. The dimly lit interior adds an air of secrecy while emphasizing Fix's enigmatic nature. Meanwhile, other figures can be seen enjoying their drinks at nearby tables – oblivious to the unfolding drama. This engraving serves as a visual invitation for us to delve deeper into Verne's literary masterpiece. It beckons us to join Phileas Fogg and his loyal companion Jean Passepartout on their daring journey around the globe – filled with twists, turns, and unexpected encounters.
