1832-1883. French artist, chiefly known as a
prolific illustrator, and also active as a
painter, etcher, and sculptor. He produced
closely worked engravings of scenes from, for
example, Rabelais, Dante, Cervantes, the
Bible, Milton, and Poe. Dore was born in
Strasbourg. His views of Victorian London
1869-71, concentrating on desperate poverty
and overcrowding in the swollen city, were
admired by van Gogh.
