This work is of prime importance in the histo + ‘of nineteenth-century art: in a period when ill trated books flourished as never before, the most famous of illustrators was working on the great bestseller. In the mid-1860' Doré was at the Ieight of his fame and his extraordinary fecundity. As he worked on the two hundred forty-one plates for the Book of Books, he called forth his highest powers.

Dore’s work of the 1850 is more energetic and vivacious than that wf anyone else Fant and fantostic and sometimes extremely hor became be full of a sense of fun, beil- al, with 9 streak of grotesque cruelty, His illus: tration of the classics began with a delightful Rabelais (1854), and increasingly he cut down on his journalism, to. specialize in illustrating the world’s great literature. During the 1860's he de- veloped a special style of illustrated book, and te publications of this decade include the Divine Comaiy and Paradise List, the Fables of La Fon- Laine, Don Quitole, Pereault's Contes, The Aven tun of Baron Muncheusen, Chateaubriand’s Alla, and The Mills of the King. The new electrotype process made it possible for the expensive wood blocks for these works, once cut, to be duplicated indefinitely without loss of quality, and they were used for editions all over the world Dove's Bible is of the same period as all these notable books, but stands apart from the main current of is life.

In his early days Dore had constantly raged at the ineptitude of the engravers: now, after years of collaboration, the best of them knew ex actly how to realize the artist's intentions.

Jerusalem, as portrayed by Clot: to, has Romanesque architecture and her people are dressed 8 in the Tuscany of the’ early four- teenth century. Dore’s Jerusalem was based on photographs and views of the actual spot. Though he himself had never visited the Holy Land (he hat- cd traveling), he could make a journalist's use of all the substitutes for travel that had recently be- come available. In Napoleon's time and aftr. wards, the French looked toward the Levant as theie sphere of influence, and the 1860's were the time of wrk on the Suee Canal (opened 1869). The truscums uf Paris were filed with the Egyptian Assyrian and other antiguities brought home by srchacologists and empire builders. When retell ory of Israel in Egypt, Doré could draw upon the magnificent Exyptian collection inthe Lire. And to modern archaeological knowledge he added psychological resis, human beings as seen by a enntemiporary of the great novelists and the now photographers. However dil int the re- search, however up-tordate the approach, history painting and historical novels and other attempts to recreate the past inevitably become, 2 hundred years after, not “realy” but costume drama Hut to Dore’s public his representations did indeed seem “a fatal picture of the recorded event.” Even in his own cay, of course, some viewers riticized Doeé’s version of Biblical times and Ruskin, as might have been expected, found fault with his geolusy.

The latter, monumental book, geand, but not at all gay, is today generally considered Dore's masterpiece Doré'’s illustrations of Old and New Testament scenes became the formative visions of Scripture in innumerable homes, especially in the New. Workl. Egypt, Babylon, Jerusalem, the barefoot multitudes in their homespun, Esther and Jael and Judith in their exotic draperies, Philistin, and Hebrew warriors and Roman soldiers, priests and rulers, city and mountain, lake and desert and, for the children, the Biblical animals, Daniel's lions, the dogs who ate Jezebel, the she bears who punished the small boys who made fun of Eli- sha, all were brought to life in convincing form. Even when the Doré Bibles themselves became difficult to obtain, the visual imagery of Doré con- tinued to have remarkable influence. It is impos- sible, for instance, to conceive of the develop- ment of films, particularly those of D. W. Grif fith and Cecil B, DeMille, without taking into consideration the Babylonian backgrounds, the winged beasts, or monumental crowd scenes of Doré.

We can Jesus blessing the influences can be seen in archi- hardly think of certain events Introduction to the Dover Edition children, the death of Abel, the Nativity, the mir aculous draught of fishes—without thinking of them: as Doré pictured them. It is especially. fitting therefore, at a time when recent reissues of Doré have revived interest in his work, to have these splendid illustrations of the Bible again made available. The basis for the plates in the present Dover edition is The Holy Bible, with astrations by Gusta Doré, published in parts by Cassell, Pet- ter, and Galpin, in London and New York, about 1866. Three additional plates ("The Expulsion of Ishmael and His Mother,” Plate 14; “The De- struction of Leviathan,” Plate 128; and. “The Crowned Virgin: A Vision of John,” Plate 238) do not appear in the English Bible but were taken from Die Heilige Schrift...
