EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Riou depicts a pivotal moment in Alexandre Dumas' timeless novel, "The Count of Monte-Cristo". The print showcases Edmond Dantes, the protagonist who later becomes the enigmatic Count of Monte-Cristo, bidding farewell to Paris. Riou's masterful craftsmanship brings this scene to life as we witness Dantes standing at the edge of a bustling city street. His figure is shrouded in an air of mystery and determination, his eyes fixed on an unknown destination beyond the horizon. The intricate details etched into every line and shadow convey both the weight of his past grievances and the promise of vengeance that lies ahead. As we gaze upon this evocative image, we are transported back to 19th-century France, where Dumas' tale unfolds against a backdrop of political intrigue and personal betrayal. This engraving captures not only the physical departure from Paris but also symbolizes Dantes' transformation from an innocent young man wronged by society to a formidable force seeking retribution. Leonard de Selva's expert photography preserves this historical artwork for generations to come. It allows us to appreciate Riou's skillful interpretation while reminding us of the enduring power that literature holds over our collective imagination. As we admire this print, let us be reminded of Edmond Dantes' indomitable spirit and his unwavering quest for justice – a story that continues to captivate readers worldwide.
