This particular illustration is part of a series created for Jules Verne's adventure novel "Around the World in Eighty Days," first published in 1873. The novel, which has become a classic in literature, tells the story of Phileas Fogg and his valet Passepartout as they attempt to circumnavigate the world in 80 days on a wager. Benett's illustrations played a significant role in bringing the story's diverse settings and characters to life, contributing to the novel's success and enduring popularity.

In "Passepartout Notices a Number of Natives," Benett captures a moment from the novel where Passepartout, Fogg's loyal servant, observes local inhabitants in one of the exotic locations the duo travels through. The illustration is notable for its attention to detail, capturing not only the curiosity and apprehension of Passepartout but also the cultural and environmental context of the scene. Benett's work is characterized by its ability to convey narrative moments with clarity and emotion, making his illustrations an integral part of the reading experience.

Hippolyte Léon Benett (1839–1917) was a prolific illustrator, whose work extended beyond "Around the World in Eighty Days" to include other Verne novels, among them "The Mysterious Island" and "Michael Strogoff." His illustrations are celebrated for their precision and imagination, qualities that have helped immortalize the stories they accompany. Benett's contributions to the field of illustration and his role in visualizing the extraordinary worlds of Jules Verne's novels continue to be recognized and appreciated by both literary and art communities.
