Hetzel Cover Designs

This page shows the various cover designs used by the publisher Jules Hetzel for the original illustrated editions of Jules Verne's Voyages Extraorinaires. You may click on any of the thumbnail covers to see a larger image of that cover.
This listing of covers is not complete, but most of the major types of covers are shown.
Soon, more covers will be added and descriptions will be added as well.
