About this copy
Gustave Doré remains one of the most celebrated illustrators of the nineteenth century, and his dramatic, richly detailed engravings continue to captivate readers. His visions of Dante's Inferno, Rabelais, Don Quixote and the slums of Victorian London bring their texts to life with extraordinary imagination. Marina Henderson's selection brings together the full range of his work, from the grotesque and the witty to the deeply humane.
This is the revised and enlarged edition in a handsome softcover, with its striking orange pictorial wraps featuring one of Doré's most dramatic engravings. This copy is a third impression from 1974.
Condition

- Good – a sound, tightly bound copy with a bright cover and clean pages. Some wear to the corners and spine edges, consistent with age and handling.
