‎Paris: Hetzel 1863. Fine. Hetzel Paris 1863 31 x 43 cm une feuille First edition. Wood engraving signed in the plate by the artist. Plate specially created for the illustration of Cervantes' Don Quixote for the 1863 Hachette edition. Gustave Doré first traveled to Spain in 1855 in the company of Théophile Gautier and publisher Paul Dalloz. In 1861 responding to a commission from the journal Le Tour du monde he returned there with Baron Jean Charles Davillier an avid hispanophile who would recount their journey in his Voyage en Espagne. Doré went there primarily with a view to illustrating Don Quixote: ""I am therefore going to the homeland of this illustrious hidalgo to study all the places he traveled through and filled with his exploits and thus create something that will have its local flavor"". Gustave Doré would thus conduct several work sessions with Louis Viardot translator of Cervantes' text. Cervantes' novel is among the most illustrated stories in European literature but Doré wanted to surpass his predecessors Tony Johannot Grandville Daumier. Upon its publication in 1863 the work would be the subject of unanimous praise notably from Emile Zola: ""They call that illustrating a work: I maintain that it is remaking it. Instead of one masterpiece the human spirit now counts two"".

‎Charles Perrault Contes Le Petit Poucet ""Tu vois bien que nous ne pouvons plus nourrir nos enfants"" - Gravure originale sur bois debout tirée sur chine et contrecollée sur vergé de Hollande‎

‎Paris: Hetzel 1862. Fine. Hetzel Paris 1862 29.90 x 42.10 cm une feuille Original wood engraving on end-grain wood signed in the plate by the artist and engraver. Composition created by Gustave Doré and engraved on China paper and mounted on Holland laid paper at the request of publisher Hetzel to illustrate his folio edition of Perrault's Contes in 1862. A pale marginal dampstain not touching the image as well as a discreet black spot in the center of the engraving. These illustrations of the Contes are considered the most successful of this text: Gustave Doré offers an unprecedented dramatic vision. With him everything contributes to the dramatization of the tale from the theatrical staging of the tableau to the smallest details that generate terrifying realism through the technique known as ""tinted wood"". He uses India ink or gouache previously diluted as required by the ""wash"" technique. For Perrault's tales the eleven finest engravers of the period were enlisted to engrave with burin the forty wood blocks: Pannemaker Pisan Pierdon Maurand Boetzel Brevière Hébert Deschamps Dumont Delduc and Fagnon. Gustave Doré's work in the context of illustrating the Contes is paramount; he does not reduce engraving to its ornamental function but transforms it into a true object of narration. These illustrations are Doré's most famous works and immediately received enthusiastic reviews notably that of Sainte-Beuve in Les Nouveaux lundis 23 December 1861: ""Un Perrault comme il n'y en eut jamais jusqu'ici et comme il ne s'en verra plus. . Je ne puis que dire que ces dessins me semblent fort beaux d'un tour riche et opulent qu'ils ont un caractère grandiose qui renouvelle l'aspect de ces humbles contes et leur rend de leur premier merveilleux antérieur à Perrault même."" ""A Perrault such as there never was until now and such as there will never be again. . I can only say that these drawings seem very beautiful to me of a rich and opulent turn that they have a grandiose character that renews the aspect of these humble tales and restores to them their original wonder that predates Perrault himself.""
