Description
David McCall JOHNSTON (1940) - Around the world in 80 days by Jules Verne. Original lithograph in colours on wove paper, 40.5 x 51.5 cm . Proof signed in pencil Condition A, perfect condition. This work is part of Johnston's remarkable series dedicated to the classics of futuristic literature, in which he deploys a graphic style of surgical precision and dreamlike richness. His line, both firm and delicate, emphasises the contrast between the fragility of the explorers and the monumentality of primitive nature. The colour palette, playing on deep earth tones and bursts of mysterious light, reinforces the atmosphere of adventure and discovery characteristic of the original work. The precise format of this plate allows us to admire the meticulous textures, making this lithograph a masterpiece for fans of narrative illustration and fantasy art. It is a masterly interpretation that unites the visionary genius of Jules Verne with Johnston's contemporary technical mastery.
