The theme of this book had been anticipated by Matthew Arnold three years earlier when he wrote of ""London with its unutterable external hideousness and with its internal canker of publice egestas priviatim opulentia - to use the words which Sallust puts into Cato's mouth about Rome - unequalled in the world"" Culture and Anarchy London 1869 p.31. Gustave Dore collaborated with the journalist Blanchard Jerrold to explore Victorian London spending four years to produce this masterpiece in which the chiaroscuro illustrations embody the light and shade of the city. ""Dore's devastating realization of the contrast of wealth and poverty in a modern metropolis makes London one of the great illustrated books of the world.""

Best.-Nr. lom-MS001919In French. Short description: Gustave Dore. Histoire pittoresque, dramatique et caricaturale de la sainte Russie. Paris: J. Bry aine, 1854. The French painter Gustave Dor? (1832-1883) is known to many primarily as an illustrator of the Bible and works of classical literature. However, he was also a talented cartoonist. During the Crimean War, when France, together with Great Britain and the Ottoman Empire, fought against Russia, Dor?, like some other European artists of that era, touched on the topic of anti-Russian propaganda in his work. In 1854, his book-album The History of Holy Rus' was published in Paris. It was an anti-Russian military pamphlet in graphic novel format. The album contains over 500 cartoons. All illustrations are provided with comments written by Dore himself. The History of Holy Rus' depicted Russia as a terrible country inhabited by crazy savages. The album was replete with all sorts of propaganda clich?s, negative clich?s, stereotypes and myths. The book showed the entire history of Russia from Rurik to the Crimean War in an acutely satirical vein. Dore paid especially close attention to the key figures of Russian history - Ivan the Terrible, methodically destroying his own subjects, and Peter the Great, paving the way for reforms over the mountains of the corpses of his fellow citizens. However, Nicholas I, his domestic and foreign policy, got the most, of course. In the Russian Empire, History of Holy Rus', for obvious reasons, was immediately banned. For the first time, as a separate edition in Russian, it was published only in 2012. Please feel free to contact us for a detailed description of the copies available. SKUMS001919

Some occasional foxing to some leaves as is normal with the book more to the front preliminary leaves some rubbing to the extremities some age . A very well preserved copy. FIRST EDITION IN A STATELY BINDING OF WHAT MANY CONSIDER TO BE DORE'S GREATEST MOST IMPORTANT AND FANTASTIC WORK. This is also one of Doré’s less common works rarely encountered and a superb example of his talent. It is a great book especially because it is the work of an artist capturing what he sees of the London of the streets and of the backs a place seldom encountered by the public at large. It is a book that rocked the book world and English sensibilities when it first appeared. "Doré produced the drawings for this work under great emotional strain. France was involved in the Franco-Prussian War and his brother was a soldier in it. With Jerrold he had walked the streets of London like Dickens and Wilkie Collins before at night and viewed the working of the City the London labourers and the London poor. At this period he had also attended a garden party with Queen Victoria with whom he had a long conversation. He experienced all the delights of the London Season from the Boat Race the Derby and various Balls and Salons. His work was criticised for its exposure of the less salubrious side of the city from its Opium dens the homeless and the ugly back streets at the same time gently mocking Society Ladies admiring monkeys in cages from the animals point of view and the prisoners exercise yard which inspired Van Gogh. The British public were not amused with what had promised to be a light and entertaining work. Instead came a work of uncomfortable social reflection of the juxtaposition between wealth and poverty the upper classed the work and dispossessed. The text by Blanchard Jerrold is light and amusing hardly reflecting the grim realities of Doré's representation. “Doré’s devastating realization of the contrast of wealth and poverty in a modern metropolis makes LONDON one of the great illustrated books of the world. The English edition antedates the French by four years and indeed it is a handsomer book” Ray. Ruari McLean in his book VICTORIAN BOOK DESIGN says of it: “.perhaps the finest and most original book of monochrome wood engraving published in London during this period was the work of a Frenchman Gustave Doré. This was his LONDON A PILGRIMAGE. Doré’s illustrations make the English illustrations of the sixties look puny.” The engraved illustrations and accompanying text show many aspects of the city but dwell on the picturesque clutter and the squalor of the poorer districts. ‘Jerrold whose text accompanies the plates was a well known London journalist who conceived the work and accompanied the artist in exploring London--sometimes with special police protection. Doré was able to explore the vitality and ruthlessness of Victorian London and depict these conditions through his extraordinary graphics.’ Grant & Co. hardcover

"In the 1870s The Doré Bible was perhaps the most treasured and expensive book in the world" Malan 81. Certainly it proved a milestone in Doré's career. Doré's illustrations for the Bible first published in French in 1866 were a great success and in 1867 Doré had a major exhibition of his work in London which led to the founding of Doré Gallery in Bond Street London. Doré's "Bible was enthusiastically sponsored by one of the greatest French publishers of illustrated books of the day Mame of Tours… Its original reception was truly remarkable… A second edition of the Bible was called for almost at once… Editions appeared in almost every European country… One of the first off the mark was an English edition from Cassell Petter and Galpin 1867. This caused an even greater sensation than the French edition and the demand among collectors for any and everything by Doré was clamorous" Muir 224.
