The Drawings of Gustave Dore', 2008, Illustrations to the Great Classics, Coffee Table Book

"This beautiful volume brings together over 500 works by the great 19th century illustrator Gustave Dore. Renowned as a master of his art, Dore's hugely ambitious projects included such classics as Dante's Divine Comedy, Cervante's Don Quixote, and the Bible.

Author and compiler George Davidson provides a detailed introduction to each literary work and to the selection of Dore's illustrations that follow. Every full-page illustration is accompanied by a carefully chosen citation from the original text. The result is a stunning volume of touching, romantic, turbulent and often awe-inspiring drawings that both shed light on classics of literature and are works of art in their own right."
