186347264Paris: Hetzel 1863. Fine. Hetzel Paris 1863 31 x 43 cm une feuille First edition. Wood engraving signed in the plate by the artist. Plate created specifically for the illustration of Cervantes' Don Quixote for the 1863 Hachette edition. Gustave Doré first traveled to Spain in 1855 in the company of Théophile Gautier and publisher Paul Dalloz. In 1861 responding to a commission from the journal Le Tour du monde he returned there with Baron Jean Charles Davillier an avid hispanophile who would recount their journey in his Voyage en Espagne. Doré went there primarily with a view to illustrating Don Quixote: ""Je me rends donc dans la patrie de cet illustre hidalgo pour étudier tous les lieux qu'il a parcourus et remplis de ses exploits et faire ainsi une chose qui aura son parfum local"" ""I am therefore going to the homeland of this illustrious hidalgo to study all the places he traveled through and filled with his exploits and thus create something that will have its local flavor"". Gustave Doré would thus hold several working sessions with Louis Viardot translator of Cervantes' text. Cervantes' novel is among the most illustrated stories in European literature but Doré wanted to surpass his predecessors Tony Johannot Grandville Daumier. Upon its publication in 1863 the work would be the object of unanimous praise notably from Emile Zola: ""On appelle ça illustrer un ouvrage : moi je prétends que c'est le refaire. Au lieu d'un chef-d'oeuvre l'esprit humain en compte deux"" ""They call that illustrating a work: I maintain that it's remaking it. Instead of one masterpiece the human spirit now counts two"".
