1882 John Milton Paradise Lost 1st ed Gustave Dore ART Gallery Illustrated FOLIO

  
1882 John Milton Paradise Lost 1. Ed Gustave Dore ART Gallery Illustrated FOLIO. The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heav'n of hell, a hell of heav'n. When Cassell saw the Dore Bible, they personally approached Dore to do Milton. Dore established himself as a prolific 19. Century illustrated and artist and the demand for his work was escalating. Thus, this rare edition is valuable and desirable much like many of the other titles Dore illustrated. Gustave Dore, it has always seemed to me, was a motion-picture art director born before his time. This undated 1882 first Cassell edition of Milton's' Paradise Lost' contains 50 full page illustrations by Dore! New York, London, Paris: Cassell, Petter, Galpin, & Company. Collation: Complete with all pages. References: Harryhausen, Master of Imagination. Binding: Hardcover; tight and secure. 13.25in X 10.25in (34cm x 26.5cm).
