1890 John Milton Paradise Lost Gustave Dore Gallery Illustrated FOLIO Literature

1890 John Milton Paradise Lost Gustave Dore Gallery Illustrated FOLIO Literature

“The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heav’n of hell, a hell of heav’n.”

– Milton, ‘Paradise Lost’

“When Cassell saw the Dore Bible, they personally approached Dore to do Milton” (Malan, Gustav Dore).  Dore established himself as a prolific 19^th-century illustrated and artist and the demand for his work was escalating. Thus, this later undated 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.” (Harryhausen)

This fine Cassell edition of Milton’s ‘Paradise Lost’ contains 48 full page illustrations by Dore!
