Inferno, Canto 9 The Burning Sepulchres Of The Heresiarchs The sepulchres make all the place uneven; So likewise did they there on every side, Saving that there the manner was more bitter; For flames between the sepulchres were scattered, By which they so intensely heated were, That iron more so asks not any art. All of their coverings uplifted were, And from them issued forth such dire laments, Sooth seemed they of the wretched and tormented. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Gustave Doré 1832 – 1883 was a French artist, engraver, illustrator, and sculptor. Doré worked primarily with wood engraving and steel engraving. This original 9" x 13" reprint from Italy is from 1939. 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. (Please note that the framed examples in the last photos are to show how this might look when it's matted and framed. Your print will come to you unmatted and unframed.)
