Inferno, Canto 9: The Angel Opens The Gates
More than a thousand ruined souls I saw,
Thus fleeing from before one who on foot
Was passing o’er the Styx with soles unwet.
From off his face he fanned that unctuous air,
Waving his left hand oft in front of him,
And only with that anguish seemed he weary.
Well I perceived one sent from Heaven was he,
And to the Master turned; and he made sign
That I should quiet stand, and bow before him.
Ah! how disdainful he appeared to me!
He reached the gate, and with a little rod
He opened it, for there was no resistance.

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.)

Surrender Dorothy offers an over-the-top array of unusual, affordable and ever so frame-worthy vintage and antique prints, maps, ads, posters, engravings, plans, lithographs, diagrams, photos, charts and illustrations of all descriptions to adorn every room in your happy home. Terrific vintage finds for your workplace too.

Our entire inventory moves very quickly and fresh selections are added each day, Please be sure to bookmark our shop and check back to visit us often so you don't miss a thing.

I'll send this wonderful old illustration to you by way of those nice folks at the USPS packed flat and protected in a rigid mailer.
