Hi Mr Door Tree, some of the best by Dore, and of course all of his stuff is fabulous.

Just a reminder that the great title page illustration is by Elihu Vedder.

I knew I loved Doré's work, but this post ignites an even deeper fascination.

Once again, thank you.

Thomas,

This was the most difficult book I ever scanned...it's huge (15" x 18) and extremely fragile! No intended slight to the gorgeous title page by Vedder, I guess I was otherwise involved!
