EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a character from Jules Verne's renowned novel, "Around the World in Eighty Days". The engraving, skillfully crafted by Louis Dumont in 1873, depicts a poor mendicant woman amidst the backdrop of an 1800s French street scene. Her ragged clothing and barefoot appearance tell a tale of poverty and destitution. The image evokes a sense of empathy as we witness this fictional character's struggle for survival. With her child by her side, she embodies the hardships faced by those living on the fringes of society during that era. The coldness in her eyes reflects not only physical suffering but also emotional turmoil. As we delve into Verne's adventurous narrative, this beggar woman becomes more than just an illustration; she symbolizes resilience and hope amidst adversity. In contrast to Phileas Fogg's luxurious journey around the world, this nameless protagonist represents forgotten voices and untold stories. Through this powerful visual representation, we are reminded of our shared humanity and the importance of acknowledging those who exist on society's margins. This photograph serves as both a historical artifact and an invitation to reflect upon societal issues such as homelessness and poverty that persist even today. In preserving this moment from literary history through artistry, it is essential to appreciate its significance beyond commercial use. Let us honor these characters' struggles while celebrating their endurance within Jules Verne’s imaginative world.
