EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century wood engraving, we see the legendary figure of Cyrano de Bergerac, a French writer and soldier, embarking on an extraordinary adventure. Dressed in his distinctive fashion of the time, with a plumed hat and elegant clothing, Cyrano stands tall against a moonlit night sky. With his eyes fixed on the heavens above, he is depicted as a man ahead of his time. The scene portrays Cyrano's journey to the moon as imagined in his renowned work "L Autre monde" first published in 1657. This fanciful tale takes readers on an incredible voyage through science fiction and whimsy. As one of history's greatest playwrights and poets, Cyrano's imagination knows no bounds. Amidst swirling clouds and windmills that dot the landscape below him, Cyrano prepares for liftoff into uncharted territory. His expression reflects both determination and wonderment at what lies beyond our earthly realm. This print captures not only the adventurous spirit of the 17th century but also pays homage to Cyrano de Bergerac's visionary mind. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, individuals dared to dream big and explore realms unknown. Granger Art on Demand presents this enchanting image from their collection—a testament to human curiosity and our eternal quest for discovery.
