EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene straight out of Jules Verne's timeless adventure novel, "Around the World in Eighty Days". The engraving, skillfully created by Henri-Theophile Hildebrand in 1873, depicts an intense moment as our protagonist Jean Passepartout finds himself amidst the bustling harbor of Egypt. After vigorously repulsing the fellahs who offered their assistance, Passepartout stands tall and resolute against their persistent hassling. The image transports us to a vibrant world filled with excitement and danger. The docks are alive with activity as ships come and go, carrying travelers from all corners of the globe. In this North African setting, we witness Passepartout's determination to navigate through his journey unaided. With its intricate details and rich colors, this illustration not only brings Verne's words to life but also offers a glimpse into the Victorian era's fascination with travel and exploration. It reminds us of the allure that books hold - transporting readers to far-off lands without leaving their homes. As we gaze at this remarkable piece from Alphonse Marie de Neuville's private collection, we can't help but feel drawn into Passepartout's world of adventure. This print serves as a testament to both Verne's enduring storytelling prowess and Hildebrand’s artistic talent – capturing a pivotal moment in one man’s quest around the world in eighty days.
