He nevertheless asks him not to propose him for the rank of officer: ""Mais je viens réclamer de toi les mêmes amitiés te priant te suppliant même de t'arrêter complétement et absolument ce qui je n'en doute pas te coûtera plus encore qu'autre chose. J'ai beaucoup pensé à tout ce que tu m'as dit hier et je trouve que je me suis trompé tout à fait en te laissant t'engager si obligeamment dans ces démarches."" ""But I come to claim from you the same friendships asking you even begging you to stop completely and absolutely which I do not doubt will cost you more than anything else. I have thought much about everything you told me yesterday and I find that I was quite wrong to let you engage so obligingly in these steps."" Gustave Doré was nevertheless appointed officer of the Legion of Honor on January 15 1879.through Paul Dalloz's intervention. unknown
187247109London: Grant & Co. 1872. First edition. Folio. xii 191 1 pp. Contemporary wine red full morocco spine with raised bands gilt lettered direct to one panel and decorated to the others gilt lettering to the upper board also marbled endpapers all edges gilt. Frontispiece second title and 52 plates with captioned tissues plus illustrations in the text loosely inserted is an original drawing measuring roughly 23 x 15 cm mounted on card the margins captioned in pencil in an early hand "Doré in London" further pencilled annotations on the card verso. Some uneven discolouration to the covers rubbing to the extremities an attractive copy overall. The loose illustration has the initials "WP" to the lower right-hand corner but is otherwise unattributed. It features the standing figure of Gustave Doré with a pen and sketchbook in his hands on the pavement of what would appear to be Wapping Wall - the street sign for Pelican Stairs is visible on the right hand side. The scene is probably imagined though as the historic pub the Prospect of Whitby is not shown a public house has stood on the site bordered by Pelican Stairs since the early 16th century and the current building was built in the early 19th century. The illustration features typical London types - men in their work clothes a young female clutching a small child and a driver with horse and carriage. London: Grant & Co. unknown

"In the 1870s The Doré Bible was perhaps the most treasured and expensive book in the world" Malan 81. Certainly it proved a milestone in Doré's career. Doré's illustrations for the Bible first published in French in 1866 were a great success and in 1867 Doré had a major exhibition of his work in London which led to the founding of Doré Gallery in Bond Street London. Doré's "Bible was enthusiastically sponsored by one of the greatest French publishers of illustrated books of the day… Its original reception was truly remarkable… A second edition of the Bible was called for almost at once… Editions appeared in almost every European country… One of the first off the mark was an English edition from Cassell Petter and Galpin 1867. This caused an even greater sensation than the French edition and the demand among collectors for any and everything by Doré was clamorous" Muir 224.

18781433461878. An interesting autograph letter signed G. Doré in French approximately 80 words on 17 lines dated 24 June 1878. The previous year Doré had illustrated Ludovico Ariosto's influential poem Orlando Furioso published in London by Hachette and Co. In 1878 he produced several landscapes including Landscape in Scotland exhibited his woodcut entitled Ganymede at the Cercle de l'Union Artistique and showed sculptures at the Paris Salon. The Daily Telegraph commenting on his works at the Salon observed "It is not often that many-sided genius is so quickly appreciated by the jealous world of art" Conder The Doré Gallery: Descriptive Catalogue of the Pictures by M. Gustave Doré on View at 35 New Bond Street London. The same month Doré gained notice at the Exposition Universelle in Paris for a plaster cast of his eleven-foot vase "Poem of the Vine". Although the vase was the subject of much comment and admiration the sculptor received no awards for it. "There was a great deal of comment on this lack of appreciation evinced by the French for their fellow-countryman especially as 'La Nuit' another of Doré's superb creations occupied a place in one of the interior galleries of the Champs de Mars buildings. It is a curious fact that nowadays most people are of opinion that Doré received a great many medals and was usually one of the most distinguished contributors to the Paris Salon. As a matter of fact he never received one; not even an honorable mention" Roosevelt The Life and Reminiscences of Gustave Doré p. 440. "Cher maitre Pour la troisième fois depuis hier je recois inclus dans des lettres d'amis de Londres le feuillet détaché du Daily Telegraph du 22; c'est vous dire la très vive sensation qu'ont produites là-bas les lignes si chaleureuses que vous m'avez fait l'amitié de consacrer à la description de ma nouvelle oeuvre. Je m'empresse de vous adresser mes plus affectueux remerciements que je ne veux pas tarder d'aller renouveler de vive voix. À vous bien cordialement." "Dear Master For the third time since yesterday I have received included in letters from London friends the page taken from the Daily Telegraph of the 22nd; this is to tell you of the very lively sensation produced there by the warm lines that you so kindly devoted to the description of my new work. I hasten to forward you my most affectionate thanks that before long I hope to renew to you in person." Single sheet of notepaper watermarked "Freres" 204 x 260 mm sometime folded for mailing.
