"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.

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.

Lincoln MacVeagh 1890-1972 a Renaissance man graduated from Harvard magna cum laude in 1913. He went on to study languages at the Sorbonne and became fluent in German French Spanish Latin Greek and Classical Greek. After World War I he became a director of the Henry Holt and Company publishing firm where he became friendly with the poet Robert Frost. In 1923 he left the firm and founded the Dial Press. His name appears on the imprint of many of their publications. In 1933 President Roosevelt appointed him Minister to Greece. He followed presentation of his credentials with a speech in Classical Greek. While in Greece he conducted excavations beneath the Acropolis and made archeological contributions to the National Museum in Athens. He left Greece in 1941 when the German army over ran the country. From there he was appointed the first US Minister to Iceland where he negotiated agreements for the construction of the Keflavik airfield. In late 1942 he became Minister to the Union of South Africa and coordinated American wartime agencies there. In 1943 he was sent to Cairo as Ambassador so that he could assist the governments in exile of Greece and Yugoslavia. He returned to Athens as Ambassador in 1944. MacVeagh gave secret testimony before Congress concerning the Balkans in 1947 testimony that was an important factor in the formation of the Truman Doctrine. In 1948 as Ambassador to Portugal MacVeagh was influential in admitting her into NATO. In 1952 President Truman named him Ambassador to Spain. President Truman wrote to him on March 9 1948: "On the occasion of your appointment as Ambassador to Portugal I would like to make some personal expression of appreciation for the high services you have already rendered your country. During the past fifteen critical years you have served with distinction as Chief of the United states Missions to Iceland the Union of South Africa Yugoslavia and Greece. In this last post especially - as Minister from 1933 to 1941 and as Ambassador since 1943 - your scholarly statesmanship and diplomatic judgment have been of the utmost value."
