Description
1873 Don Quixote Miguel de Cervantes Gustave DORE Art Illustrations Quijote
“One of those universal works which are read by all ages at all times.”
– Printing and the Mind of Man, on Don Quixote
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."
