EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the frontispiece of Michel Strogoff, a renowned adventure story written by Jules Verne. Engraved by Charles Barbant, this exquisite piece of art takes us on an exhilarating journey through time and space. The image depicts Michel Strogoff, a courageous courier for the Russian Tsar, embarking on a perilous mission across Siberia. As he rides his majestic horse through the vast wilderness occupied by Tartars, we witness his determination and bravery in the face of danger. However, what sets this artwork apart is its poignant portrayal of Strogoff's fate. The engraving captures the pivotal moment when our hero becomes blind during his treacherous expedition. This unexpected twist adds depth to the narrative and emphasizes Strogoff's resilience as he continues to fulfill his duty despite losing his sight. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable; every stroke beautifully conveys the intensity of emotions experienced by both man and beast. The powerful bond between Strogoff and his loyal steed is palpable as they navigate through rugged terrains together. This frontispiece not only encapsulates the essence of Verne's gripping tale but also serves as a testament to human perseverance in challenging circumstances. It reminds us that even when faced with adversity, one can find strength within themselves to overcome any obstacle that comes their way. Displayed proudly in private collections worldwide, this iconic artwork stands as a timeless tribute to Jules Verne's literary genius
