Wood engraved with one of the illustrations of the Baron of Munchhausen by Gustave Doré. Dimensions: 20 x 14,5 cm. In the preface of this book, Théophile Gautier appreciates Gustave Doré's illustration: "No one better than this artist knows how to make chimeras, dreams, nightmares, elusive forms drowned in light and shadow live a mysterious and profound life; silhouettes that are strangely caricatural, and all the monsters of fantasy. Henri Leblanc, Catalogue de l'oeuvre complet de Gustave Doré, pp. 37-38.
