EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving captures a poignant moment from Victor Hugo's classic novel "Les Miserables", depicting young Cosette and her beloved big doll in the care of the cruel Thenardier family. Despite their harsh circumstances, Cosette finds solace in her cherished toy, whom she names Catherine. The image also includes Eponine and Azelma, daughters of the Thenardiers, highlighting the stark contrast between their privileged upbringing and Cosette's life of poverty.
The intricate details of this 19th-century engraving by Adrien Marie bring to life the innocence and resilience of childhood amidst adversity. The artist skillfully conveys the emotions of each character through subtle expressions and gestures, inviting viewers to empathize with Cosette's plight.
As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of the enduring themes of love, compassion, and hope that resonate throughout Hugo's masterpiece. The juxtaposition of light and shadow in black-and-white adds depth to the scene, emphasizing both the darkness of Cosette's situation and the light that shines within her spirit.
Through this print, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen in history - a testament to the power of storytelling and art to evoke empathy and understanding across generations.
