This review is from: Dore Masterpieces: Nineteenth Century Engravings Illustrating Classic Literary Works in Postcards (Paperback)
Dore's engravings are so detailed that I am continually asking myself how he could have conjured up such imaginative images using only shades of gray.

If you like black-and-white engravings, get "A Celebration of Humanism and Freethought," by David Allen Williams. This book is full of rare 19th century engravings that match its quotations from the Humanist perspective--a beautiful art book that has been overlooked because of its title.
