About this Item
Folio 2 Vol. 1870/72. Vol 1: XXVI pp., 232 pp. Index, 75 full-page engravings, Vol. II: Front cover in two-color 192 pp. 42 engravings, 190 pp. Index, 18 engravings. Bound in half brown calf, 4 raised bands, spine richly gilt. First Spanish edition of the Divine Comedy illustrated by Doré, highly esteemed by the singular imagination of the French artist, one of the most illustrious of his time. "Endowed with an almost neurotic, feverish fantasy, Doré translated into drawings things that perhaps he had not read more than above, and that is why they owe certain sensational deals to him, not to Dante, and he did not always know how to resist the temptation to turn the Divine Comedy into a magical and fantastic tale, as in the thirteenth canto of Hell, where it represents sinners turned into trees like trunks with human faces and limbs, a concept that is in stark contrast to Dante's. " - Volkmann. "Edition esteemed by Doré's plates, soon sold out.", Palau 68288. Seller Inventory # ABE-1604681885135
