| 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 - all copyright-free - meticulously reproduced from rare, original plates. Included are cuts from the illustrations to "Don Quixote", illustrations for works by Rabelais, landscapes from the epic poem "Orlando Furioso", drawings from "London: A Pilgrimage", and witty caricatures from "Droll Stories" and "Adventures of Baron Munchausen".
