Descrizione

A very early issue of this wonderfully illustrated Cervantes. With 118 spectacular illustrations by by Gustave Doré. Folio (32 x 24 cm), very handsomely bound in three-quarter dark tan morocco over marbled paper covered boards, the spine with raised bands gilt ruled, compartments of the spine decorated with gilt at the centers, lettered in gilt in two compartment. xxviii, 737 pp. A very handsome and sturdy copy, the binding is very strong and well preserved, with virtually no wear, the text-block lightly mellowed, the plates in fine condition, half-title with some browning at the edges, a very pleasing copy.

Edizione: a pleasing and handsome copy. scarce in such well preserved condition. gustave doré was one of the greatest illustrators of his day. he was born in strassburg in 1832. in 1848, he moved to paris where “his facility as a draughtsman was extraordinary.” he was a prolific worker and his subjects were usually religious or historical. he died in january of 1883. <br> his grand and magnificent style is a perfect complement for cervantes heroic tale. this great tome presents one of our favorite printings of the spanish classic and, because of the weight of the text block, is usually found broken and loose. this copy is as sturdy as one could hope for and is especially handsome as well.
