The book: A nice 1888 early English edition of Verne’s visionary tale, combining From the Earth to the Moon (1865) and its continuation A Trip Round It (1870). This edition includes the celebrated engravings by Bayard and de Neuville—two of Verne’s most iconic illustrators—capturing the mechanical audacity, political satire, and exuberant imagination of Verne’s pioneering science fiction. The story follows the Baltimore Gun Club’s extraordinary plan to launch a projectile to the Moon, blending scientific speculation, adventure, and humor in quintessential Verne fashion. An attractive survivor in its original decorated cloth.

The author: Jules Verne (1828–1905), often hailed as the father of modern science fiction, authored a remarkable series of visionary novels as part of his Voyages Extraordinaires. His works fused adventure with scientific inquiry at a level unmatched at the time. From the Earth to the Moon in particular stands as one of Verne’s most prophetic achievements, anticipating lunar travel, space capsules, aeronautics, and even Florida’s future role in rocket launches.

The illustrators: Émile-Antoine Bayard (1837–1891) was a French illustrator renowned for his narrative energy and his capacity to bring scientific and fantastical scenes to life with compelling realism. His engravings for Verne helped shape the visual identity of early science fiction.
Alphonse de Neuville (1835–1885), celebrated for his dramatic and precise style, brought depth, motion, and emotional intensity to Verne’s novels. His collaborative work with Bayard remains among the most recognized imagery associated with Verne’s early editions.
