DORÉ (Gustave). RASPER (Rudolf Erich)
. Adventures of the Baron of Münchhausen. New translation by Théophile Gautier fils, illustrated by Gustave Doré. Wood engraved with one of the illustrations of the Baron of Munchhausen by Gustave Doré. Dimensions: 20 x 14,5 cm. On the back, glued, the corresponding engraving to enable printers to find their way around. In the preface of this book, Théophile Gautier appreciates Gustave Doré's illustration: "No one better than this artist knows how to make chimeras, dreams, nightmares, elusive forms drowned in light and shadow live a mysterious and profound life; silhouettes that are strangely caricatural, and all the monsters of fantasy. Henri Leblanc, Catalogue de l'oeuvre complet de Gustave Doré, pp. 37-38.
