"Phileas Fogg and Passepartout" is an illustration by Hippolyte Léon Benett, a French artist known for his work in illustrating the novels of Jules Verne. This particular illustration is from Verne's famous adventure novel "Around the World in Eighty Days" (French: "Le Tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours"), first published in 1873. The novel follows the journey of the English gentleman Phileas Fogg and his French valet Passepartout as they attempt to circumnavigate the world in 80 days on a wager set by Fogg's fellow members at the Reform Club.

Hippolyte Léon Benett (1838–1917) was commissioned to illustrate several of Verne's novels for the original editions published by Pierre-Jules Hetzel. His illustrations played a significant role in the success of Verne's works, capturing the imagination of readers with their detail and vividness, and contributing to the visual iconography of Verne's stories that persists to this day.

In the illustration "Phileas Fogg and Passepartout," Benett depicts the two protagonists in a moment from their global adventure. The artwork typically showcases the characters in an exotic location or in the midst of an action scene, reflecting the novel's themes of travel and adventure. Benett's illustrations were often characterized by their attention to detail and accuracy in portraying the various cultures and technologies of the late 19th century.

The illustration not only serves as a visual representation of the characters but also as a historical artifact, providing insight into the period's illustration techniques and the publishing industry of the time. Benett's work remains an essential component of the legacy of Jules Verne's novels, and "Phileas Fogg and Passepartout" stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of these classic adventure tales.
