Review Gustave Dore's 10,000 engravings and 3,000 book editions made him the most prolific and popular illustrator of all time. Dore set the standard for the artistic expression of Literary Classics. Yet today, while many people do not recognize his name, his engravings are all around us, borrowed for works by everyone from Karl Marx to Billy Graham to the front cover of Time Magazine as recently as December 18, 1995. Gustave Dore is a new biography that has much newly discovered information about Dore's life and works and his romances with some of the most famous women of the 19th century from actress Sarah Bernhardt to opera singer Adelina Patti. Also included is a list of Dore titles, bibliographic sources, an index, and 300 illustrations. No Gustave Dore collection can be considered complete without Dan Malan's brilliant biographical survey. -- Midwest Book Review Read more
