[edit] An example?
Is 
by Doré? If so, you could insert it in the page.
[edit] drawings
- there are numerous references in the article to published books with "drawings" (& above here). These are not drawings as such but prints, but in what technique? Lithographs perhaps. Someone should check it out & correct the article Johnbod 14:59, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Poor Formatting
Due to the amount of pictures in this article, the formatting is messy. Take note of the horizontal rules in between sections, especially. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 1000Faces (talk • contribs) 07:21, 21 January 2007 (UTC).
- We have Commons. Perhaps the number of pictures should be cut down to just give a representive sample. Goldfritha 19:10, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Cartoonstock external links
I see that the external link added by Cartoonstock to the Dore was deleted. I have also deleted and seen deleted external links by Cartoonstock on the Aubrey Beardsley page (myself) and elsewhere that I don't remember right now. I think the Cartoonstock external links are marketing and not in the spirit of wikipedia.

[edit] Poor Formatting, Works now listed in table format
I moved some of the pictures along the side to the gallery at the bottom. The pictures on the side were obscuring the edit tag on the right for the Works section.
Also, I put the works section in a tabular format and listed the sources for the information. Since originally creating the list of works, I noticed that three enterprising people had entered new data about Gustave Doré works. And, although one of the entries was correct, the other two were terribly flawed (in one extreme case, they had Inferno being published 24 years after its original publication date, by an American publisher no less (the only book originally published by an American publishing house was The Raven, and that was done posthumously. All the rest were French and British publishers.).

[edit] Censorship of Doré's Works
I've noticed that many prints of Doré's two works which show God in human form, "The Creation of Light" and "The Formation of Eve," have replaced the human form of God with a blot of light. Does anybody know when these censored prints first surfaced and why? Lefilsdudiable 03:01, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
