AMERICANS IN PARADISE?
American artist N. C. Wyeth
illustrated a 1918 edition
of Verne’s The Mysterious
Island. In this novel, set
during the American Civil
War, five Union soldiers use
a hot-air balloon to escape
from a camp. Stranded on a
strange island, they use an
albatross to take a message
to the outside world.
