EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Cambridge Observatory in 1865, as depicted in an engraving by Henri de Montaut. The observatory, located in England, stands tall and majestic against the moonlit sky. It is a testament to both scientific exploration and architectural brilliance. The artwork featured in this photograph is inspired by Jules Verne's science fiction novel "From the Earth to the Moon". Designed by Henri de Montaut, it beautifully captures the essence of Verne's literary masterpiece. This collaboration between literature and art creates a unique blend of imagination and reality. The image transports us back to the 19th century, a time when astronomy was rapidly advancing. The observatory symbolizes humanity's quest for knowledge about our place in the universe. Its towering presence reminds us of our fascination with celestial bodies and our desire to unravel their mysteries. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene, we are reminded of France's contribution to both literature and science during this era. Jules Verne, one of France's most celebrated authors, envisioned extraordinary journeys beyond what was thought possible at that time. Through this remarkable engraving captured by Jaime Abecasis' lens, we are transported into a world where science fiction meets reality. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these artistic expressions continue to inspire awe and curiosity within us all.
