PCT4260305: Series of drawings with commentaries by Gustave Dore (ca. 1860). If the one who is considered to be the most brilliant illustrator of the 19th century is not exactly the inventor of the comic book, he was one of the first to tell a story with images and a few lines of text running under each thumbnail. In addition to his genius as an engraver, G. Dore shows here his pioneering talent in caricature and comic drawing (from the anthology Planete “” Masterpieces of comic strip). / Bridgeman Images
