EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from Jules Verne's renowned adventure novel, "The 500 million of the Begum". Illustrated by Leon Benett in 1879, this edition published by Hetzel/Extraordinary Voyages transports us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century France. In this particular drawing, we witness a moment of suspense as our protagonist finds himself hanging precariously from a grand candelabra. The look of astonishment on his face is palpable as he watches an unexpected turn of events unfold before him. To his surprise, the ceiling swings open and a slender steel ladder descends automatically towards him. Benett's intricate engraving skillfully brings to life Jules Verne's imaginative storytelling. The play between light and shadow adds depth to the illustration, enhancing its dramatic effect. As viewers, we are drawn into this outlandish scene that combines elements of mystery and adventure. Jules Verne was a masterful writer known for his ability to transport readers into fantastical worlds through his vivid descriptions and imaginative plots. This print serves as both an homage to Verne's literary genius and an artistic representation of one thrilling moment within "The 500 million of the Begum". With its historical significance, exquisite detail, and evocative atmosphere, Patrice Cartier's fine art print allows us to appreciate not only the work of Leon Benett but also the enduring legacy left behind by Jules Verne in French literature.
