EDITORS COMMENTS
Round the Moon" (Autour de la Lune) by Jules Verne, published in 1870, is a captivating and imaginative work of science fiction that took the literary world by storm over a century ago. This illustration from the novel, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, depicts the exhilarating moment when Verne's intrepid space-travelers, Barbicane and Nicholl, finally reach the lunar surface and experience the thrill of being free from Earth's gravity. The image captures the essence of the astronauts' weightless existence as they float effortlessly in their spacecraft, surrounded by the barren, rocky terrain of the moon. The intricate details of the illustration reveal the advanced technology of Verne's vision for space travel, with the spacecraft's complex machinery and intriguing design elements. The astronauts appear to be in awe of their surroundings, taking in the breathtaking view of the lunar landscape and the vast expanse of space beyond. Their expressions convey a sense of wonder and excitement, as they savor the unique pleasures of being among the first humans to set foot on another celestial body. This illustration serves as a testament to Verne's prescient imagination, as it predates the actual moon landing by over 80 years. It also highlights the enduring appeal of science fiction and its ability to inspire and captivate audiences with its vision of the future. As we continue to explore the cosmos and push the boundaries of human achievement, this illustration from "Round the Moon" remains a fascinating reminder of the power of the human spirit and the limitless potential of the imagination.
