PCT4259807: Illustration of Jules Verne's novel “Around the Moon””, drawing by Emile Bayard, Hetzel edition/Voyages extraordinaire 1870. This illustration highlights the relationship of inspiration between the two novels “lunar”” by Jules Verne and the two albums by Tintin made by Hergé, “Objectif Lune” and “On a Marché sur la Lune”. In E. Bayard's drawing, we see the whimsical astronaut Michel Ardan (a character created by Verne based on his friend, photographer Nadar), imagining himself joyfully fooling on the projetile launched towards the Moon during an outing into space. A situation close to the inadvertent exit of Captain Haddock drunk on the rocket, in Tintin's adventures., Bayard, Emile Antoine (1837-91) / Bridgeman Images
