EDITORS COMMENTS
When the Sleeper Wakes (litho) captures a mesmerizing scene of bustling activity and intrigue. In this print by Henri Lanos, we are transported to a world where men and mechanisms coexist in an extraordinary manner. The image showcases a crowd of listeners, eagerly engaged in conversation and gossiping about the enigmatic tale of 'When the Sleeper Wakes. ' H. G. Wells' famous novel comes to life as giants gather around, their blue mechanical bodies towering over the little figures below. Excitement fills the air as people bawl out their thoughts and opinions while others hoot with sarcasm. Amidst this cacophony of chatter, one can observe Graham, the protagonist of Wells' story, engaging in animated discussions with fellow characters. The engraving skillfully captures their expressions - from gabbling to chatting - as they exchange ideas and small talk. The intricate details within this artwork transport us back to 1899 when The Graphic published this illustration. With its rich colors and meticulous craftsmanship, Lanos brings forth a vivid depiction that draws viewers into its world. This remarkable lithograph from Bridgeman Images serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical artifact. It invites us to ponder upon communication's power amidst technological advancements while reminding us that even amid giant machines, human connection remains at the heart of society.
