EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous drawing on the cover of Alexandre Dumas Fils' "Les Hommes d aujourd hui" is a delightful glimpse into 19th-century French literature. Created by Andre Gill, this print captures the essence of Dumas' work with wit and charm. In the image, we see a young girl offering a gift to an elegant gentleman who appears to be a journalist. The engraving showcases elements of French culture, including botanical illustrations and an apple symbolizing knowledge or temptation. It's as if these symbols are woven together to represent the complexity and allure of Dumas' writing. Dumas himself is portrayed in this artwork, his portrait adorning the cover alongside other notable figures from French literary history. This playful depiction highlights not only his talent as a writer but also his impact on society during that time. The artist Leonard de Selva beautifully captures the spirit of this piece through his photography, allowing us to appreciate every detail and nuance. With its mix of humor, religion, and natural history references, this print serves as both an artistic gem and a historical artifact. Whether you're an avid fan of Alexandre Dumas Fils or simply appreciate fine art with a touch of whimsy, this print is sure to bring joy and intrigue into your space.
