EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases an illustration from Victor Hugo's timeless masterpiece, Les Miserables. The engraving, created by a talented French School artist in the 19th century, transports us to the grim reality of Jean Valjean's imprisonment. Within the confines of his prison cell, we witness a haunting scene that encapsulates the essence of Valjean's tormented existence.

The chains that bind them serve as a powerful metaphor for both physical and emotional captivity.
