EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1865, when Jules Verne's visionary novel "Autour de la Lune" was published in Paris. The wood engraving depicts a space capsule poised for its monumental Moon landing, showcasing the boundless imagination of this French literary genius. Intriguingly, Verne's work predates the actual moon landing by more than a century, making it an astonishing example of science fiction predicting future scientific achievements. This image captures the essence of his groundbreaking storytelling as it showcases a meticulously designed spacecraft ready to embark on an otherworldly adventure. The intricate details etched into the wood engraving highlight both Verne's vivid descriptions and the artist's skillful interpretation. From every angle, we can see that no stone was left unturned in creating this fantastical vehicle – from its sleek exterior to its advanced manoeuvring systems. As we gaze at this historical artwork, our minds are transported to a time when flight beyond Earth seemed like pure fantasy. It serves as a reminder of humanity's insatiable curiosity and relentless pursuit of knowledge about our universe. This remarkable piece is not only a testament to Jules Verne’s enduring legacy but also an homage to all those who dared dream about what lies beyond our planet’s atmosphere.
