Purgatorio, Canto 12: Dante Views The Soul Of Arachne O mad Arachne! so I thee beheld E’en then half spider, sad upon the shreds Of fabric wrought in evil hour for thee! ------------------------------------------------------------------ Paul Gustave Doré 1832 – 1883 was a French artist, engraver, illustrator, and sculptor. Doré worked primarily with wood engraving and steel engraving. This original 8" x 10.25" reprint is from 1949. It's printed on quality paper and is in lovely condition. It's tanned just a tiny bit to a light ecru color (think vanilla ice cream) and it's blank on the reverse side. Virgil and Dante would be simply fabulous matted in a bright color and framed in either black or gold. Matted, framed and displayed as a gallery grouping, these fabulous black and white vintage book prints are simply spectacular.
