1886 BIBLE Gallery Gustave Dore ART Illustrated Old/New Testament Bible Scenes

Gustave Dore first began publishing Bible illustrations in 1865 in France, but because of their immense popularity, they would see reissues for decades and all over the western world. Most of these large, multi-volume Bibles, that contained nearly 250 engravings, were too heavy and expensive for the common buyer, so smaller products were published that featured only illustrations and no Bible text. These became the 'Dore Bible Gallery' editions.

Dore's Bible illustrations had a direct effect on early 20th-century biblical based films, drawing influence and costume design from Dore's portrayal of Bible characters.

In a black fitted box with gilt title. Professionally rebound in brown leather binding with embossed date and pattern on the front board. Maroon title plate with gilt band and lettering on the spine.
A great work perfected by Robert Barker who later went on to publish King James and the wicked Bible. This is a genuine old rendition and NOT a backdated copy to circumvent James I's ban.
Rebound and reworked this Bible back to its original condition. Now housed in a magnificent worked protective case this Bible is a joy to hold and read – there are just not enough superlatives to describe Brian's craftsmanship.
