Jules Verne’s Voyages extraordinaires owe as much to the talents of their author as to those of their publisher, Hetzel, who aspired to creating a collection of tales meant to “educate while entertaining”.
From deluxe editions with colourful gilded binding to emblematic posters, take a behind-the-scenes look at the making of this legendary series. Enjoy a selection of first editions, posters, and preparatory sketches – true works of art, some of which have never before been seen.
