186347281Paris: Hetzel 1863. Fine. Hetzel Paris 1863 43 x 21 cm une feuille First edition. Wood engraving signed on the plate by the artist. Plate created specifically for the illustration of Cervantes' Don Quixote in the Hachette edition of 1863. 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: ""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 conduct 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 subject of unanimous praise notably from Emile Zola: ""They call that illustrating a work: I maintain that it is remaking it. Instead of one masterpiece the human spirit counts two"".

186279664Paris: Hetzel 1862. Fine. Hetzel Paris 1862 29.90 x 42.10 cm une feuille Original wood engraving signed in the plate by the artist and engraver. Composition created by Gustave Doré and engraved by Boetzel on China paper and mounted on Holland laid paper at the request of publisher Hetzel to illustrate his folio edition of Perrault's Contes in 1862. Occasional light worming in margins not affecting the engraving. These illustrations for the Contes are considered the most successful of this text: Gustave Doré offers an unprecedented dramatic vision. With him everything contributes to the dramatization of the tale from the theatrical staging of the composition to the smallest details that generate terrifying realism through the technique known as ""tinted wood."" He uses India ink or gouache previously diluted as required by the ""wash"" technique. For Perrault's tales the eleven best engravers of the period were employed to engrave with the burin the forty wooden plates: Pannemaker Pisan Pierdon Maurand Boetzel Brevière Hébert Deschamps Dumont Delduc and Fagnon. Gustave Doré's work in illustrating the Contes is paramount; he does not reduce engraving to its ornamental function but transforms it into a true object of narration. These illustrations are Doré's most famous works and immediately received enthusiastic reviews notably that of Sainte-Beuve in Les Nouveaux lundis December 23 1861: ""A Perrault like there never was until now and like there will never be again. . I can only say that these drawings seem very beautiful to me richly and opulently turned that they have a grandiose character that renews the aspect of these humble tales and restores to them their first marvel prior to Perrault himself.""

Je ne puis que dire que ces dessins me semblent fort beaux d'un tour riche et opulent qu'ils ont un caractère grandiose qui renouvelle l'aspect de ces humbles contes et leur rend de leur premier merveilleux antérieur à Perrault même."" ""A Perrault such as there never was until now and such as there will never be again. . I can only say that these drawings seem very beautiful to me of a rich and opulent turn that they have a grandiose character that renews the aspect of these humble tales and restores to them their original wonder that predates Perrault himself.""
