1870 HUGE Don Quixote Cervantes Gustave Dore Illustrated ART Clark English

Famous French artist, Gustave Doré was most known for his incredible woodcut engravings. He established himself as a prolific 19th-century illustrator and artist and the demand for his work was escalating. One such work was his collection of illustrations for Cervantes “Don Quixote”. Howard Mancing, in his book "Cervantes Don Quixote: A Reference Guide," asserts that

"Dorés romantic vision of Don Quixote has become the most popular and most frequently reprinted (and imitated) set of illustrations; for many people, Dorés Quixote is Don Quixote."

This 19th century Cassell edition features the English of J. Clark, biographical notes by T. Teignmouth Shore, and 118 plates by Gustave Dore!
