Gustave Doré

Blanchard Jerrold

London in the middle of the 1800s was a subject endlessly sketched by artists, studied by social reformers, and discussed by writers. This comprehensive collection of drawings by Gustave Dor,̌ France's most celebrated graphic artist of the period, presents a panoramic portrait of that engrossing city - from fashionable ladies riding in a sunlit park to ragged wretches in a shadowy side street. Here are amazingly perceptive sketches of workaday London, busy market places, the Christy Minstrels, a waterman's family, thieves gambling, the Devils' Acre in Westminster, flower girls, waifs and strays, a wedding at the Abbey, provincials in search of lodgings, a garden party, prisoners in the Newgate exercise yard, stalls at Covent Garden Opera House, and many other scenes that capture the London of a bygone era.

Gustave Dorè

Legendary Artist Gustave Dorè spent years creating this visual masterpiece depicting the broad spectrum of humanity that inhabited Victorian Era London. In the mid 19th century, Journalist Blanchard Jerrold and Gustave Dorè set out on a journey to document the people and culture of London. Originally printed in 1872, this Retro Restored Special Edition includes: -The original type font -Classic page layouts -Crisp digitally re-scanned and enhanced images -More than 170 engravings -8 1/2" x 11" printing -Bold new cover design -Introduction Master artist Gustave Dorè (1832-1883), known for the lavish illustrations in Dante's Inferno, Paradise Lost, and Don Quixote, depicted London, England, in his charismatic and detailed way that nobody else could. His masterful engravings shed light on the dimly-lit back alleys, seedy docks, and market districts made famous by Charles Dicken's novels, Sherlock Holmes, and countless period dramas. Blanchard's writing compliments Dorè's artwork to give readers a contemporary guide through the city's underbelly, to the parks, and past some of its most famous locales such as Parliament and St. John's Cathedral. Fans of highly detailed artwork, graphic novels, and comic strips will find themselves lost for hours in Dorè's meticulous drawings of bustling city streets and river scenes. His playful renderings of London's most interesting characters feel remarkably modern and timelessly fascinating for readers into the 21st-century and beyond.
