EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 19th century, immersing us in the world of Jules Verne's iconic novel, "Around the World in Eighty Days". The image showcases a meticulously engraved illustration by Adolphe François Pannemaker, depicting a sleeping car from this thrilling adventure tale. Stepping into this train carriage feels like stepping into another era. The Victorian furnishings and intricate details transport us to a time when travel was an elegant and luxurious affair. Rows of cozy beds line the walls, inviting weary travelers to rest their heads during their transcontinental journey. As we gaze at this enchanting scene, our imagination runs wild with thoughts of Jean Passepartout and Phileas Fogg embarking on their daring quest around the globe. We can almost hear the rhythmic chugging of the locomotive as it speeds through various landscapes - from bustling cities to vast deserts. The image not only captures the essence of adventure but also highlights how literature has shaped our perception of travel. It reminds us that books have always been powerful vehicles for escapism and exploration. Intriguingly nostalgic yet timeless, this print is a testament to both artistic craftsmanship and literary genius. It serves as a reminder that even within its pages, fiction has the power to ignite our wanderlust and transport us across continents without ever leaving our seats.
