EDITORS COMMENTS
. This chromolitho print, created by an anonymous European School artist in the 19th century, depicts a scene from Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre's renowned novel "Paul et Virginie". The artwork showcases the heart-wrenching moment when Virginie tragically loses her life during a shipwreck on the St Geran off the coast of Mauritius. The image evokes a profound sense of mourning and grief as we witness Paul's beloved Virginie succumbing to her watery fate. The woman's sorrowful expression reflects both her acceptance and resignation to death, while also capturing the immense tragedy that has befallen her. Through this educational card, produced sometime between late 19th or early 20th century, viewers are transported back to an era where literature intertwined with visual art to convey powerful emotions.
