EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the whimsical and comical scene of "Incident at the departure of the expedition to the North Pole (aerostat and wacky scenes)". Created by Albert Robida in 1878, this artwork is a parody of Jules Verne's famous novel, "Very extraordinary travels of Saturnin Farandoul in 5 or 6 parts of the world and in all the countries known or unknown to Mr. Jules Verne". The image showcases an array of eccentric characters gathered around an airship balloon, ready to embark on their daring journey to the North Pole. The engraving beautifully depicts a moment filled with anticipation, excitement, and perhaps even a hint of chaos. It transports us back to a time when aviation was still in its infancy. Robida's attention to detail is evident as he masterfully captures each individual's unique personality through their exaggerated expressions and gestures. The composition exudes energy and movement as people scramble about amidst crates, ropes, and curious contraptions. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded not only of Robida's artistic talent but also his ability to infuse humor into his creations. This print serves as both a tribute to Jules Verne's literary legacy while offering viewers a lighthearted glimpse into an era where imagination soared alongside early aviation endeavors.
