Seller's Description

Original 9 3/4 inch x 7 7/8 inch Engraving URIEL’S CHARGE TO GABRIEL.

”Man having been placed in Eden, Gabriel is stationed with a heavenly guard to protect him. Uriel, having seen from afar Satan on his way to earth, comes down to put Gabriel more strictly on his guard. The artist has rendered the surroundings of the scene with striking fidelity.”

Illustration by Gustave Doré (1832 - 1883). The most popular and successful French book illustrator of the middle of the 19th century. Doré became widely known for his illustrations to such books as Danté’s Inferno (1861), Don Quixote (1862), and the Bible (1866), and he helped to give European currency to the illustrated book of large format. He was so prolific that at one time he employed more than forty wood engravers. His work is characterized by an eclectic mix of Michelangelesque nudes, northern traditions of sublime landscape, and a highly spirited love of the grotesque and bizarre.

Engraved by Adolphe François Pannemaker (1822 - 1900). Wood engraver. Graduate of Ecole Royale in Brussels. He went to Paris and worked there for more than 30 years, especially as book illustrator, often working with his son and pupil, Stéphane Pannemaker (1847-1930), especially on reproductions of Gustave Doré's book illlustrations and A. Doms, a wood-engraver who occasionally worked in collaboration with Pannemaker.

Paradise Lost is an epic poem in blank verse by the 17th-century English poet John Milton (1608–1674). The first version, published in 1667, consisted of ten books with over ten thousand lines of verse. A second edition followed in 1674, arranged into twelve books. It is considered by critics to be Milton's major work, and it helped solidify his reputation as one of the greatest English poets of his time.

Illustration for John Milton’s “Paradise Lost” published in 1667 and illustrated by Doré in 1866.

This edition from Cassell’s ‘Doré Gallery’ published in 1885.

Page size 12 1/4 inch x 9 1/8 inch

The engraving is in very good condition with a 1/2 inch tear in the right border. Reverse side blank.
