EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intriguing frontispiece for Champavert by Petrus Borel, the Lycanthrope. Created in 1872 by an anonymous French School artist from the 19th century, this engraving is housed in the Bibliotheque Sainte-Genevieve in Paris, France. The image features a mesmerizing portrait of a wolf-man with a striking beard. This enigmatic figure embodies both mystery and strength as he gazes intensely into the distance. The intricate details of his facial features are beautifully captured, highlighting his rugged charm. As we delve deeper into this artwork, we discover additional elements that add to its allure. A skull rests at the bottom of the composition, symbolizing mortality and perhaps hinting at darker themes within Champavert's literary work. This frontispiece serves as an introduction to Borel's collection of stories known for their morbid and romantic nature. Petrus Borel himself was a renowned French writer and poet who embraced a misanthropic persona throughout his life. His contributions to literature were deeply rooted in Romanticism, which is evident through this evocative portrayal. Overall, this print offers us a glimpse into the world of Pierre Joseph Borel d'Hauterive - an enigmatic figure whose words continue to captivate readers even today.
