DON QUIXOTE DE LA MANCHA: ILLUSTRATED BY GUSTAVE DORÉ

Description

A valuable 19th century edition of Cervantes' (1547-1616) masterpiece, illustrated by one of the most influential engravers and lithographers in history, Gustave Doré (1832-1883). An eclectic artist and brilliant visionary, Doré immortalised the classics of literature's greatest authors such as Dante, Rabelais, Ariosto, Shakespeare, Milton, Coleridge, Tennyson, Hugo, Balzac and Edgar Allan Poe. Fine aedo, master of the oneiric, diviner on the hunt for the sublime, Doré's work drips with secret light.
