The illustrator that I learned about was Gustave Dore. He was born in 1832 and he was naturally very talented. He completed projects for many famous authors including Shakespeare, Edgar Allen Poe, and Charles Perrault. His artwork consisted on Gothic turrets, looming forests, and romantic vista. Dore is known for capturing the terror of Perrault’s Tales with his etchings, one example being this image of the ogre from Tom Thumb.
