#les mis illustrations

Isn't it so weird how Victor Hugo made them all get a drink and laugh after this instead of continuing to describe a variety of tragedies happening due to societal issues? I was a bit taken aback. Been having a lot of les mis brainrot/obsession and I am sorry to my 8 followers who have to endure it. Tried to go for a more book accurate Javert and struggled so hard on Valjean! I know he doesn't have white hair at this part yet but I feared he would not be recognisable without it. I also feel like a beard, while maybe not fitting his function as mayor at this moment does fit his character so much. I don't recall if there's any description of him at this point in the book.

Look at Fantine's modest dress! Alas, the fashion is from a wrong period.

Javert has a sward here. And I like Patron-Minette's black masks!

Today I have several illustrations introducing Fauchelevent and the convent garden. Petr Pinkisevich definitely liked drawing old men — Fauchelevent is one of his favourites. I love how he showed the friendship and closeness between the two old men, portraying them sharing a drink and working together in the garden.
