EDITORS COMMENTS
In this wood engraving from Jules Verne's iconic novel "Around the World in Eighty Days" we are transported to the vibrant lands of India. Phileas Fogg, our intrepid English protagonist, stands tall and composed amidst a bustling Indian marketplace. With his hat held firmly in one hand and cane in the other, he engages in negotiations with an Indian man wearing a turban. The focal point of this scene is undoubtedly the magnificent elephant standing beside them. This majestic creature symbolizes both power and grace, its presence hinting at the extraordinary adventures that lie ahead for Fogg on his quest to circumnavigate the globe within eighty days. Leon Benett's masterful wood engraving brings this pivotal moment to life, capturing every intricate detail with precision. The illustration exudes an air of excitement and anticipation as Fogg seeks transportation that will expedite his journey through India. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost feel ourselves being swept away into Verne's world—a world where cultures collide and boundaries blur. It serves as a reminder of humanity's insatiable thirst for exploration and discovery—an eternal desire that transcends time itself. This remarkable artwork not only captures a crucial scene from Verne's timeless tale but also invites us to embark on our own imaginative journey around the world alongside Phileas Fogg.
