Once again, I want to share with you the beautiful illustrations that I found in the adapted edition for learning English. I once saw this book on the OperaGhost.ru website - or rather, only the cover in terrible pixel quality. At that time, I was upset because there were very few illustrations of the Leroux’s blonde Christine, and much more art based on the musical.
It was not possible to buy this book, it was nowhere to be found. And then, by some miracle, I found it on the online store, apparently it was found in some remnants. I picked it up in one second and now I'm happy with the purchase, despite the fact that it's a little shabby (
The illustrations were made by Elena Selivanova, the book itself is British.
There are a lot of illustrations, and they are made with obvious attention to detail. All the characters are absolutely Leroux’s characters, even Raoul has a mustache :)
There are images of chandeliers and Opera. I liked the views from behind the audience, who are sitting in front of us. It feels like we're sitting in the audience with them, listening to Christine sing.
The entourage of the 19th century is reflected, and even the era almost coincides (the dresses seem to be the 1870s, but it's hard for me to judge here, it’s just an illustrations).
I was pleased with the illustrations from the cemetery, and the artist also added an image of the life of Raoul and Christine after the wedding, it is so cute.
P.S. Sorry for my English, it’s not my native language, but I’m trying my best
