"The Raven" has long been a favorite poem of many since Poe’s death in 1849. In the same way, the artwork of Gustave Doré has been treasured in near-equal measure since his passing in 1883. Maybe you’ve never heard the name Gustave Doré, but it would be safe to assume that you have seen his wood-carvings, quite possibly without even realizing it. In addition to Poe’s “Raven,” Doré also provided illustrations for Dante’s “Inferno,” “Don Quixote,” and even the Bible. No doubt, both men of genius died far too soon, yet what they accomplished in their lifetimes has continued to resonate with countless many for generations.
