The kind of book you'll pass on to your children
This is one of the highest-quality art books I've ever purchased. Everything about it is perfect - it's big, but small enough to carry around and read wherever I want. The binding lays (almost) flat so I can see the full engravings without issue, a problem I have with a lot of my other hardcovers. The image on the cover is embossed and embellished, and the title card comes off to fully appreciate it! The book itself is a work of art. I feel like I've robbed the publisher given the amount of content here. This book contains:- Info and illustrations on the printmaking techniques Dore used- Selected images from 26 books he illustrated, along with the excerpts he was illustrating- 3 albums of humorous artwork- 22 paintings, many of them double-page spreadsThere is a brief section (like, 4 pages) prior to this that contains a letter from Dore, a timeline of his life, and large pictures of him. Outside of this, all other sections of the book are dedicated to his work. Other art books I own feature a lengthy biography mixed in with cropped versions of artwork and a gallery at the end. This *entire book* is the gallery, and information is only provided to support the artwork. In between each literary work there is a brief page explaining the story, the author, and a bit about Dore's work on it. Context is provided for each engraving with small excerpts from the story (shown in the images), but these are edited to leave as much room for the art as possible. The same is done for each painting, with pages that analyze the subject and what it meant to him.Usually when I find books this good they're out of print or way past my budget. This one isn't yet! BUY IT NOW.
