"Caricature of Jules Verne (1828-1905) from Men of Today" is a notable illustration by the French caricaturist André Gill, depicting the famous French novelist Jules Verne, who is best known for his adventure novels and his profound influence on the literary genre of science fiction. The caricature was published in the periodical "Les Hommes d’aujourd’hui" (Men of Today), which was a popular French series of celebrity caricatures issued from 1878 to 1899. André Gill, whose real name was Louis-Alexandre Gosset de Guines, was renowned for his distinctive style that often exaggerated the physical features of his subjects while capturing their essence and character.

The caricature of Jules Verne is a testament to the artist's skill in portraying prominent figures of his time with a blend of satire and admiration. Verne, with his imaginative works such as "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" and "Around the World in Eighty Days," captured the fascination of the public and the respect of the literary community, making him an ideal subject for Gill's series. The illustration not only reflects Verne's status as a celebrated author but also provides insight into the cultural and artistic milieu of late 19th-century France.

Gill's work is characterized by its bold lines and often grotesque exaggeration, which was intended to be humorous rather than disrespectful. His caricatures were not only popular entertainment but also contributed to the visual culture of the era and the tradition of French satire. The "Caricature of Jules Verne from Men of Today" remains an important piece of art history, illustrating the intersection of literary fame and visual art during a vibrant period of French cultural life.
