About This Item
Vivid, finely bound book featuring Dore's inimitable woodcuts. Gilt bust of Dante and a figure, as well as lettering. Pictures and ornate designs cover the front board and the spine, with all edges gilded. Some shelf wear and fraying to the extremities. Binding has cracking at flyleaf, otherwise volume is in very good shape. Very rare, antique volume.
