A Blast from the PastBy Rob RideoutBack in 1970. I had a hardback copy of most all of Gustave Dores engravings that I cherished looking at. It sadly burned up in my house fire of 1987. which is all chronicled in my inspirational memoir Still Singing. Somehow. Now forty years later. I still really enjoy sitting with this current soft cover edition of Dores drawings. This artist is pure genius at the highest level. How can anybody not notice that when viewing his art? "Puss in Boots" for any cat lovers and "The Empyrean" from The Divine Comedy are worth buying this book for alone. in my opinion. as they are my favorites. Fans of Dante and the Bible will be greatly rewarded too. as nobody lays down the lines like Gustave Dore. And at the price it goes for. youre crazy not to buy this superb edition for your own library. if you love great art. It is worth every penny spent and so much more.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Excellent service and bookBy leonI do not believe this book has all of his drawings but it gives you a good combination of all the genres he drew.Its a pretty awsome book Im thinking about buying the bible drawings and the Dantes inferno which the Dante illustrations are what drew me to Dore Gustave.
