EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic character of Quasimodo, the hunchback bell ringer of Notre Dame de Paris, as depicted in Victor Hugo's timeless novel. The engraving, created by Adolphe Steinhell in the late 19th century, beautifully captures the essence of this tragic figure. In this illustration, we see Quasimodo perched high up in the bell tower of Notre Dame Cathedral. Despite his physical deformity and isolation from society, he is shown with a sense of dignity and purpose. His hunched back serves as a reminder of his outcast status, yet it does not diminish his strength or resilience. The intricate details in this engraving bring to life the atmosphere surrounding Quasimodo's world. The grandeur of the cathedral interior creates a dramatic backdrop for our protagonist. As he swings on ropes amidst an array of bells, one can almost hear their melodic chimes echoing through time. Quasimodo's love for music is evident in this portrayal; it becomes his solace within these stone walls. This image invites us to delve into Hugo's narrative and explore themes such as beauty versus ugliness and societal prejudice that are still relevant today. As part of The Granger Collection's Carousel collection, this print offers a glimpse into French history and literature while honoring one of its most memorable characters. It serves as a testament to both Hugo's literary genius and Steinhell's artistic talent - capturing Quasimodo
