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.

186347269Paris: Hetzel 1863. Fine. Hetzel Paris 1863 43 x 21 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 a knowledgeable 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 has traveled through and filled with his exploits and thus create something that will have its local flavor"". Gustave Doré would thus conduct several working sessions with Louis Viardot translator of Cervantes' text. Cervantes' novel ranks among the most illustrated narratives in European literature but Doré wanted to surpass his predecessors Tony Johannot Grandville Daumier. Upon its publication in 1863 the work would be the subject 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 claim that it's remaking it. Instead of one masterpiece the human spirit now counts two"".
