1873 Comfort Days Elephant Monde Quatre Relative Ride Unhappy Verne Fogg Passepartout Vingt
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "The Ride on the Elephant - Fogg in Relative Comfort, Passepartout Somewhat Unhappy," is a stunning visual representation of a pivotal moment from Jules Verne's classic novel "Around the World in Eighty Days" (1873), published by Hachette et Cie in France. The photograph, taken from Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time to an era of adventure and exploration. In the image, Phileas Fogg (played by David Niven in this particular depiction) sits comfortably atop an elephant, seemingly unfazed by the journey ahead. His trusted companion, Passepartout, portrayed by Cantinflas, appears less than thrilled, perhaps due to the bumpy terrain or the long hours spent on the animal's back. This scene is reminiscent of Chapter 14 in Verne's novel, where Fogg and Passepartout travel from Bombay, India, to Ceylon, Sri Lanka, via elephant. The historical context of this photograph adds an extra layer of intrigue, as it showcases the means of transportation during the late 19th century. The adventurous spirit of Fogg and Passepartout, as they embark on their global journey, continues to inspire readers and viewers alike, making this image a must-have for any collection of historical or literary-themed decor. This photograph is not only a beautiful addition to any home or office, but it also serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of Verne's masterpiece, "Around the World in Eighty Days." Whether you're a fan of the book or simply appreciate the artistry of this vintage image, this print is sure to be a conversation starter and a source of enjoyment for years to come.
