About the Item

Les Aventures du Baron de Munchausen is an original modern rare book written by Rudolf Erich Raspe (March 1736 – 16 November 1794) and illustrated by Gustave Doré (Strasbourg, 1832 – 23 January 1883) in 1862. Published by Charles Furne, Paris. Original First Edition. Translated in French by Théophile Gautier (Tarbes, 1811 – Neuilly, 1872). The book is one of the few copies on “papier vélin fort”. Original binding. The book includes 158 Original plates. Mint conditions. Gustave Doré in 1868. Paul Gustave Louis Christophe Doré (Strasbourg, 1832 – 23 January 1883) was a French artist, printmaker, illustrator, comics artist, caricaturist, and sculptor who worked primarily with wood-engraving. In 1853 Doré was asked to illustrate the works of Lord Byron. This commission was followed by additional work for British publishers, including a new illustrated Bible. In 1856 he produced 12 folio-size illustrations of The Legend of The Wandering Jew, which propagated longstanding antisemitic views of the time, for a short poem which Pierre-Jean de Béranger had derived from a novel of Eugène Sue of 1845. In the 1860s he illustrated a French edition of Cervantes's Don Quixote, and his depictions of the knight and his squire, Sancho Panza, became so famous that they influenced subsequent readers, artists, and stage and film directors' ideas of the physical "look" of the two characters. Doré also illustrated an oversized edition of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven", an endeavor that earned him 30,000 francs from publisher Harper Brothers in 1883. Doré's later work included illustrations for new editions of Coleridge's Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Milton's Paradise Lost, Tennyson's Idylls of the King, The Works of Thomas Hood, and The Divine Comedy. Doré's work also appeared in the weekly newspaper The Illustrated London News. Rudolf Erich Raspe (March 1736 – 16 November 1794) and translated in French by Théophile Gautier (Tarbes, 1811 – Neuilly, 1872). Rudolf Erich Raspe was a German librarian, writer, and scientist, called by his biographer John Patrick Carswell a "rogue". He is best known for his collection of tall tales The Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen, also known as Baron Munchausen's Narrative of his Marvellous Travels and Campaigns in Russia, originally a satirical work with political aims. Théophile Gautier, byname le bon Théo was a poet, novelist, critic, and journalist whose influence was strongly felt in the period of changing sensibilities in French literature—from the early Romantic period to the aestheticism and naturalism of the end of the 19th century.
