Gustave Doré

=== Henry Holiday's Allusions === The comparison shows illustrations [right side] by Gustave Doré (to John Milton's Paradise Lost , Book VI, 1866), [left side] Plate I of Gustave Doré's illustrations to chapter 1 in Miguel de Cervantes' Don Quixote (1863 edition) and [center] by Henry Holiday (to The Hunting of the Snark , 1876). Probably also this applies: Doré (1863) -> Doré (1866). Why shouldn't a prolific artist re-use his own work?

Details from illustrations [left]: by Gustave Doré (to John Milton's Paradise Lost , Book VI, 1866) and [right]: by Henry Holiday (to The Hunting of the Snark , 1876) . Here Henry Holiday played with zoomorphism and turned what could be parts of a root into a (naughty) winged rat. i am not sure whether Doré's hatching of the "nose" and the "paw" is part of a joke already by Doré in that otherwise quite hellish scenario.
