EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment from Victor Hugo's iconic novel, Les Miserables. The illustration depicts the resilient character Gavroche, who had fallen but rises again amidst the chaos of revolution. Engraved by Jules Leon Perrichon, this artwork beautifully portrays Gavroche as a symbol of hope and defiance. In the midst of destruction and tragedy on the streets of Paris during the July Revolution, Gavroche stands tall with his arms raised in defiance. Despite being just a young boy, he fearlessly sings while National Guardsmen fire their weapons around him. This image showcases his unwavering spirit and determination to fight for what he believes in. The scene is filled with poignant details - from the tragic corpse lying nearby to Gavroche collecting cartridges with his basket. It highlights both the innocence and bravery of youth in times of turmoil. Gustave Brion skillfully recreates this pivotal moment through engraving, capturing every emotion etched on Gavroche's face. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to this evocative composition. This print is not only a tribute to Victor Hugo's masterpiece but also serves as a reminder that even in dark times, there are individuals like Gavroche who refuse to be silenced or defeated.
