EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Passepartout, one of the beloved characters from Jules Verne's iconic novel "Around the World in Eighty Days" fearlessly navigating the rigging of the steamer Rangoon. The wood engraving, created by Leon Benett for an 1873 edition of the book, beautifully captures the essence of adventure and maritime exploration. In this illustration, Passepartout is depicted as a daring sailor amidst a vast expanse of ocean. With his agile movements and steady grip on the mast, he exemplifies courage and determination in his quest to circumnavigate the globe within a strict timeframe. The intricate details etched into each line showcase Benett's skillful craftsmanship while adding depth to Passepartout's character. The late 19th-century French literature comes alive through this artwork, transporting viewers back to a time when science fiction novels captured imaginations worldwide. As we gaze upon this engraving, we can almost feel ourselves aboard that very ship alongside Passepartout, embarking on an extraordinary voyage filled with unknown wonders and unexpected challenges. This print serves as a reminder of both Verne's literary genius and our own innate desire for exploration. It invites us to delve into worlds beyond our own reality and embrace the thrill that accompanies venturing into uncharted territories. Whether displayed in a study or living room, it sparks curiosity and ignites dreams of grand adventures yet to be experienced.
