This volume, as its title indicates
s a collection of engravings illustrativof the Biblethe designs being all fro
he pencil of the greatest of moder
delineators, Gustave Dore. The origina
work, from which this collection habeen made, met with an immediate an
warm recognition and acceptance amon
hose whose means admitted of itpurchase, and its popularity has in n
wise diminished since its firs
publication, but has even extended t
hose who could only enjoy it casually

narrative form, and containing generall
a brief analysis of the design. Asid
from the labors of the editor an
publishers, the work, while in progresswas under the pains-taking and carefu
scrutiny of artists and scholars no
directly interested in the undertaking, bu
still having a generous solicitude for it
success. It is hoped, therefore, that it
general plan and execution will render
acceptable both to the appreciative anfriendly patrons of the great artist, and t
hose who would wish to possess such
work solely as a choice collection o
llustrations upon sacred themes.

GUSTAVE DORE.
The subject of this sketch is
perhaps, the most original and variouslgifted designer the world has eve
known. At an age when most men hav
scarcely passed their novitiate in art
and are still under the direction andiscipline of their masters and th
schools, he had won a brillian
reputation, and readers and scholareverywhere were gazing on his wor
with ever-increasing wonder and deligh
at his fine fancy and multifarious gifts
He has raised illustrative art to a dignit
8/12/2019 Dor Gustave_Bible Gallery
16/549
and importance before unknown, and ha
developed capacities for the penci
before unsuspected. He has laid al
subjects tribute to his genius, exploreand embellished fields hitherto lyin
waste, and opened new and shinin
paths and vistas where none before ha
rod. To the works of the great he ha
added the lustre of his genius, bringin
heir beauties into clearer view an
warming them to a fuller life.His delineations of character, in th
different phases of life, from the horribl
o the grotesque, the grand to the comic
attest the versatility of his powers; and
whatever faults may be found by critics
he public will heartily render thei
quota of admiration to his magic touch
8/12/2019 Dor Gustave_Bible Gallery
17/549
his rich and facile rendering of almos
every thought that stirs, or lies ye
dormant, in the human heart. It is useles
o attempt a sketch of his varioubeauties; those who would know the
best must seek them in the treasure
house that his genius is constantl
augmenting with fresh gems and wealth
To one, however, of his most prominen
raits we will referhis wonderfu
rendering of the powers of Nature.His early wanderings in the wil
and romantic passes of the Vosge
doubtless developed this inheren
endency of his mind. There h
wandered, and there, mayhap, imbibe
hat deep delight of wood and valley
mountainpass and rich ravine, whos
8/12/2019 Dor Gustave_Bible Gallery
18/549
variety of form and detail seems endles
o the enchanted eye. He has caught th
very spell of the wilderness; she has lai
her hand upon him, and he has gone fortwith her blessing. So bold and truthfu
and minute are his countles
representations of forest scenery; s
delicate the tracery of branch and stem
so patriarchal the giant boles of hi
woodland monarchs, that the' gazer is a
once satisfied and entranced. His vistaie slumbering with repose either i
shadowy glade or fell ravine, either wit
glint of lake or the glad, long course o
some rejoicing stream, and above alsupreme in a beauty all its own, h
spreads a canopy of peerless sky, or
wilderness, perhaps, of angry storm, o
8/12/2019 Dor Gustave_Bible Gallery
19/549
peaceful stretches of soft, fleecy cloud
or heavens serene and fairanothe
kingdom to his teeming art, after th
earth has rendered all her gifts.Paul Gustave Dore was born in th
city of Strasburg, January 10, 1833. O
his boyhood we have no very particulaaccount. At eleven years of age
however, he essayed his first artisti
creationa set' of lithographs
published in his native city. Thfollowing year found him in Paris
entered as a 7. student at th
Charlemagne Lyceum. His first actua
work began in 1848, when his fin
series of sketches, the "Labors o
Hercules," was given to the publi
hrough the medium of an illustrated
8/12/2019 Dor Gustave_Bible Gallery
20/549
ournal with which he was for a lon
ime connected as designer. In 185
were published the illustrations fo
Balzac's "Contes Drolatiques" and thosfor "The Wandering Jew "the firs
humorous and grotesque in the highes
degreeindeed, showing a perfec
abandonment to fancy; the other weir
and supernatural, with fierce battles
shipwrecks, turbulent mobs, and natur
n her most forbidding and terriblaspects. Every incident or suggestio
hat could possibly make the story mor
effective, or add to the horror of th
scenes was seized upon and portrayewith wonderful power. These at onc
gave the young designer a grea
reputation, which was still mor
8/12/2019 Dor Gustave_Bible Gallery
21/549
enhanced by his subsequent works.
With all his love for nature and hi
power of interpreting her in her varyin
moods, Dore was a dreamer, and manof his finest achievements were in th
realm of the imagination. But he was a
home in the actual world also, awitness his designs for "Atala," "Londo
a Pilgrimage," and many of the scene
n "Don Quixote."
When account is taken of thvariety of his designs, and the fac
considered that in almost every task h
attempted none had ventured before himhe amount of work he accomplished i
fairly incredible. To enumerate the
mmense tasks he undertooksom
single volumes alone containin
8/12/2019 Dor Gustave_Bible Gallery
22/549
hundreds of illustrationswill giv
some faint idea of his industry. Beside
hose already mentioned are Montaigne
Dante, the Bible, Milton, RabelaisTennyson's "Idyls of the King," "The
Ancient Mariner," Shakespeare
"Legende de Croquemitaine," L
Fontaine's "Fables," and others still.
Take one of these worksth
Dante, La Fontaine, or "Don Quixote"
and glance at the pictures. The merhand labor involved in their productio
s surprising; but when the quality of th
work is properly estimated, what h
accomplished seems prodigious. N
particular mention need be made of hi
as painter or sculptor, for his reputatio
rests solely upon his work as a

"And the Lord God said, it is no
good that the man should be alone; I wil
make him a helpmeet for him. And thLord God caused a deep sleep to fall o
Adam, and he slept, and he took one o
his ribs, and closed up the flesh instea
8/12/2019 Dor Gustave_Bible Gallery
40/549
hereof; and the rib which the Lord Go
had taken from man, made he a woman
and brought her unto the man. And Adam
said, This is now bone of my bone anflesh of my flesh: she shall be calle
Woman, because she was taken out o
man. Therefore shall a man leave hi
father and mother, and shall cleave unto
his wife, and they shall be one flesh.
Genesis ii, 18, 21-24.
In these few words the Scripturenarrate the creation of the first mother o
our race. In "Paradise Lost," the poeti
genius of Milton, going more into detai
describes how Eve awoke t
consciousness, and found hersel
reposing under a shade of flowers, muc
wondering what she was and whenc
8/12/2019 Dor Gustave_Bible Gallery
41/549
she came. Wandering by the margin of
small lake, she sees her own for
mirrored in the clear waters, at whic
she wonders more. But a voice is heardeading her to him for whom she wa
made, who lies sleeping under a gratefu
shade. It is at this point the artist come
o interpret the poet's dream. Amid th
varied and luxurious foliage of Eden, i
he vague light of the early dawn, Eve i
presented, coy and graceful, gazing oher sleeping Lord, while in th
background is faintly outlined the mysti
form of Him in whose image they wer
created.

And the Lord God said, Behold, th

and eat, and live forever: Therefore, th
Lord God sent him forth from the garde

of Eden, to till the ground from whenc
he was taken. So he drove out the man
and he placed at the east of the garden o
Eden cherubims, and a flaming sworwhich turned every way, to keep the wa
of the tree of life.Genesis iii, 22-24
They, looking back, all the easterside beheld Of Paradise, so late thei
happy seat, Waved over by that flaming

Through Eden took their solitary way.

And Adam knew Eve his wife; and
she conceived, and bare Cain, and said
have gotten a man from the Lord. Andshe again bare his brother Abel. And
Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cai
was a tiller of the ground. And i
8/12/2019 Dor Gustave_Bible Gallery

process of time it came to pass, that Cai
brought of the fruit of the ground a
offering unto the Lord. And Abel, he
also brought of the firstlings of his flocand of the fat thereof. And the Lord had
respect unto Abel and to his offering
But unto Cain and to his offering he ha
not respect. And Cain was very wroth
and his countenance fell. And the Lord
said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? an
why is thy countenance fallen? If thodoest well, shalt thou not be accepted
and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at th
door, and unto thee shall be his desire
and thou shalt rule over him. And Caialked with Abel his brother: and it cam
o pass,when they were in the field
hat Cain rose up against Abel hi
8/12/2019 Dor Gustave_Bible Gallery

brother, and slew him.
And the Lord said unto Cain
Where is Abel thy brother? And he said
know not Am I my brother's keeperAnd he said, What hast thou done? th
voice of thy brother's blood crieth unt
me from the ground. And now art thocursed from the earth, which hath opene
her mouth to receive thy brother's bloo
from thy hand; When thou tillest th
ground, it shall not henceforth yield unthee her strength; a fugitive and
vagabond shalt thou be in the earth. And
Cain said unto the Lord, My punishmen
s greater than I can bear. Behold, thou
hast driven me out this day from the fac
of the earth and from thy face shall I b
hid; and I shall be a fugitive and
8/12/2019 Dor Gustave_Bible Gallery

vagabond in the earth; and it shall com
o pass, that every one that findeth m
shall slay me. And the Lord said unto
him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cainvengeance shall be taken on hi
sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upo
Cain, lest any finding him should kil

And Cain went out from th
presence of the Lord, and dwelt in th

In the six hundredth year of Noah'
ife, in the second month, the seventeent
day of the month, the same day were alhe fountains of the great deep broken up
and the windows of heaven wer
opened. And the rain was upon the eartforty days and forty nights.
In the selfsame day entered Noah
and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, th
sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and thhree wives of his sons with them, int
he ark; they, and every beast after hi
kind, and all the cattle after their kindand every creeping thing that creepet
upon the earth after his kind, and ever
fowl after his kind, every bird of ever

ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein i
he breath of life. And they that went in
went in male and female of all flesh, a
God had commanded him: and the Lorshut him in.
And the flood was forty days upo
he earth; and the waters increased, anbare up the ark, and it was lift up abov
he earth. And the waters prevailed, and
were increased, greatly upon the earth
and the ark went upon the face of thwaters. And the waters prevailed
exceedingly upon the earth; and all th
high hills, that were under the whol
heaven, were covered. Fifteen cubit
upward did the waters prevail; and th
mountains were covered. And all fles
died that moved upon the earth, both o

every creeping thing that creepeth upo

and the fowl of the heaven; and the
were destroyed from the earth; and Noa

And the waters prevailed upon th

And he drank of the wine, and wa

dwelt there. And they said one to

another, Go to, let us make brick, and

brick for stone, and slime had they fo

reach unto heaven; and let us make us
name, lest we be scattered abroad upo

And the Lord came down to see th
city and the tower which the children o
men builded. And the Lord said, Beholdhe people is one, and they have all on

now nothing will be restrained fro

And it came to pass, when they ha

neither stay thou in all the plain; escap

And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, mLord. Behold now, thy servant hat

magnified thy mercy, which thou has
shewed unto me in saving my life; and
cannot escape to the mountain, lest som

his son that was born unto him, who
Sarah bare to him, Isaac. And Abraham
circumcised his son Isaac, being eigh
days old, as God had commanded himAnd Abraham was an hundred years old
when his son Isaac was born unto him.
And Sarah said, God hath made mo laugh, so that all that hear will laug
with me. And she said, Who would hav
said unto Abraham, that Sarah should
have given children suck? for I havborn him a son in his old age. And th
child grew, and was weaned: and
Abraham made a great feast the sam
day that Isaac was weaned.
And Sarah, saw the son of Hagar
he Egyptian, which she had born unt
Abraham, mocking. Wherefore she sai
8/12/2019 Dor Gustave_Bible Gallery

unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoma
and her son; for the son of this
bondwoman shall not be heir with m
son, even with Isaac.And the thing was very grievous i
Abraham's sight because of his son. And
God said unto Abraham, Let it not bgrievous in thy sight because of the lad
and because of thy bondwoman; in al
hat Sarah hath said unto thee, hearke
unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seebe called. And also of the son of th
bondwoman will I make a nation
because he is thy seed.
And Abraham rose up early in th

And Abraham rose up early in thmorning, and saddled his ass, and too
wo of his young men with him, an
saac his son, and clave the wood for thburnt offering, and rose up and went unt

Then on the third day Abraham lifted up

And he said, Behold the fire and thwood: but where is the lamb for a burn

God will provide himself a lamb for

which God had told him of; an
Abraham built an altar there, and laid thwood in order, and bound Isaac his son
and laid him on the altar upon the wood
And Abraham stretched forth his hand
and took the knife to slay his son. Andhe angel of the Lord called unto him ou

and he said, Here am I. And he said, Lay

hou anything unto him: for now I know
hat thou fearest God, seeing thou has

eyes and looked, and behold behind hi
a ram caught in a thicket by his horns
and Abraham went and took the ram, and
offered him up for a burnt offering in th
stead of his son.
And Abraham called the name ohat place Jehovah-jireh: as it is to thi
day, In the mount of the Lord it shall b

And the angel of the Lord calle

because he was the son of his old age
and he made him a coat of many colorsAnd when his brethren saw that thei

brethren, they hated him, and could no
speak peaceably unto him.
And Joseph dreamed a dream, an

him yet the more. And he said unto themHear, I pray you, this dream which
have dreamed. For, behold, we wer
binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, m

THE WAR AGAINST

Therefore the five kings of th
8/12/2019 Dor Gustave_Bible Gallery
140/549
Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the kin
of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the kin
of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathere
hemselves together, and went up, theand all their hosts, and encamped befor
Gibeon, and made war against it.
And the men of Gibeon sent untJoshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying
Slack not thy hand from thy servants
come up to us quickly, and save us and
help us: for all the kings of the Amoritehat dwell in the mountains are gathere
ogether against us.
So Joshua ascended from Gilgahe, and all the people of war with him
and all the mighty men of valor. And the
Lord said unto Joshua, Fear them not: fo
have delivered them into thine hand
8/12/2019 Dor Gustave_Bible Gallery

here shall not a man of them stan
before thee. Joshua therefore came unt
hem suddenly, and went up from Gilga
all night. And the Lord discomfited thembefore Israel, and slew them with a grea
slaughter at Gibeon, and chased the

horon, and smote them to Azekah, and
unto Makkedah. And it came to pass, a

he going down to Beth-horon, that thLord cast down great stones from heave
upon them unto Azekah, and they died
hey were more which died wit
hailstones than they whom the childreof Israel slew with the sword.
Then spake Joshua to the Lord i
he day when the Lord delivered up th

Amorites before the children of Israe
and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun
stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou
Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. And thesun stood still, and the moon stayed
until the people had avenged themselve
upon their enemies. Is not this written i
he book of Jasher? So the sun stood stil
n the midst of heaven, and hastened no
o go down about a whole day. And
here was no day like that before it oafter it, that the Lord hearkened unto th
voice of a man: for the Lord fought fo
srael.
And Joshua returned, and all Israe
with him, unto the camp to Gilgal. Bu
hese five kings fled, and hid themselve
n a cave at Makkedah. And it was told

our enemies, and smite the hindmost o
hem; suffer them not to enter into thei
