WITH 230 DRAMATIC PLATES BY GUSTAVE DORÉ. Volume I with four leaves for recording family members marriages births and deaths each with a decorative frame all unused. Malan "Doré" p. 85. Isolated spots of minor foxing due to paper content one cover of the very rarely seen dust jackets with red offsetting from the frame on the cover but AN UNSURPASSABLE COPY--clean fresh and bright internally the bindings and jackets IN SPARKLING CONDITION.<br/> <br/> This is a time-capsule copy of perhaps the most popular illustrated Bible ever issued and one of the very few Bibles which has always been known by the name of its illustrator. According to his biographer the artist was excited by the "almost endless series of intensely dramatic events" he would get to portray; the results originally created for the 1866 Grand Bible of Tours are so evocative that the critic Bouchot called them "the terror of frail readers." Doré 1832-83 makes remarkable use of light shadow and composition to convey the full range of splendor horror pathos and ecstasy contained in the Scriptures. Because he was so prolific it is estimated that he made more than 100000 designs in his lifetime Doré inevitably had his detractors but Ray says simply that he was "one of the greatest of all illustrators." Taine says that "every imagination appeared languid in comparison with his. For energy force superabundance originality sparkle and gloomy grandeur I know of only one equal to his--that of Tintoretto." The Doré Bible was translated into at least 24 languages; ours is the German version by Catholic theologian Joseph Franz Allioli 1793-1873. According to Malan "The Roman Catholic Church has never diminished its praise of these illustrations." And these illustrations endured in many Catholic and Protestant Bibles especially during the last third of the 19th century but actually until the present. The Bible was such a cultural phenomenon that Mark Twain even mentioned it in “Tom Sawyer†as a motivating prize for students to learn Scripture. The Bible’s success prompted Doré to reinterpret his illustrations in huge paintings that were displayed at Doré Gallery in London. Malan says that the exhibition “was considered the greatest collection of religious paintings in the world." The boxes that were issued with our set have clearly weathered some blows over the years but they did their job perfectly as the volumes they protected hardly seem to have been opened in their lifetime and their dust jackets even considering the minor repair are also in a breathtaking state of preservation.

Some occasional foxing to some leaves as is normal with the book more to the front preliminary leaves some rubbing to the extremities some age . A very well preserved copy. FIRST EDITION IN A STATELY BINDING OF WHAT MANY CONSIDER TO BE DORE'S GREATEST MOST IMPORTANT AND FANTASTIC WORK. This is also one of Doré’s less common works rarely encountered and a superb example of his talent. It is a great book especially because it is the work of an artist capturing what he sees of the London of the streets and of the backs a place seldom encountered by the public at large. It is a book that rocked the book world and English sensibilities when it first appeared. <br> "Doré produced the drawings for this work under great emotional strain. France was involved in the Franco-Prussian War and his brother was a soldier in it. With Jerrold he had walked the streets of London like Dickens and Wilkie Collins before at night and viewed the working of the City the London labourers and the London poor. At this period he had also attended a garden party with Queen Victoria with whom he had a long conversation. He experienced all the delights of the London Season from the Boat Race the Derby and various Balls and Salons. His work was criticised for its exposure of the less salubrious side of the city from its Opium dens the homeless and the ugly back streets at the same time gently mocking Society Ladies admiring monkeys in cages from the animals point of view and the prisoners exercise yard which inspired Van Gogh.<br> The British public were not amused with what had promised to be a light and entertaining work. Instead came a work of uncomfortable social reflection of the juxtaposition between wealth and poverty the upper classed the work and dispossessed. The text by Blanchard Jerrold is light and amusing hardly reflecting the grim realities of Doré's representation.<br> “Doré’s devastating realization of the contrast of wealth and poverty in a modern metropolis makes LONDON one of the great illustrated books of the world. The English edition antedates the French by four years and indeed it is a handsomer book†Ray. Ruari McLean in his book VICTORIAN BOOK DESIGN says of it: “.perhaps the finest and most original book of monochrome wood engraving published in London during this period was the work of a Frenchman Gustave Doré. This was his LONDON A PILGRIMAGE. Doré’s illustrations make the English illustrations of the sixties look puny.â€<br> The engraved illustrations and accompanying text show many aspects of the city but dwell on the picturesque clutter and the squalor of the poorer districts. ‘Jerrold whose text accompanies the plates was a well known London journalist who conceived the work and accompanied the artist in exploring London--sometimes with special police protection. Doré was able to explore the vitality and ruthlessness of Victorian London and depict these conditions through his extraordinary graphics.’ Grant & Co. hardcover

lom-MS001919In French. Short description: Gustave Dore. Histoire pittoresque dramatique et caricaturale de la sainte Russie. Paris: J. Bry aine 1854. The French painter Gustave Dor 1832-1883 is known to many primarily as an illustrator of the Bible and works of classical literature. However he was also a talented cartoonist. During the Crimean War when France together with Great Britain and the Ottoman Empire fought against Russia Dor like some other European artists of that era touched on the topic of anti-Russian propaganda in his work. In 1854 his book-album The History of Holy Rus' was published in Paris. It was an anti-Russian military pamphlet in graphic novel format. The album contains over 500 cartoons. All illustrations are provided with comments written by Dore himself. The History of Holy Rus' depicted Russia as a terrible country inhabited by crazy savages. The album was replete with all sorts of propaganda clichs negative clichs stereotypes and myths. The book showed the entire history of Russia from Rurik to the Crimean War in an acutely satirical vein. Dore paid especially close attention to the key figures of Russian history - Ivan the Terrible methodically destroying his own subjects and Peter the Great paving the way for reforms over the mountains of the corpses of his fellow citizens. However Nicholas I his domestic and foreign policy got the most of course. In the Russian Empire History of Holy Rus' for obvious reasons was immediately banned. For the first time as a separate edition in Russian it was published only in 2012. Please feel free to contact us for a detailed description of the copies available. SKUMS001919 unknown
