Dore Spot Illustrations: A Treasury from His Masterworks (Dover Pictorial Archive Series)

One of the most prolific and successful book illustrators of the 19th century, Gustave Dore produced drawings for a host of literary classics. These drawings were then published as wood engravings. Astonishingly diverse, his illustrations range from brooding, surrealistic images to sprightly and humorous sketches. This superb pictorial archive contains nearly 700 Dore prints meticulously reproduced from rare, original plates.
