Gustave Doré: Twelve Comic Strips #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects twelve sequential art narratives by the renowned 19th-century French artist Gustave Doré, better known for his illustrations of literary classics. Published by University Press of Mississippi in 2015, it presents a selection of his rarely seen comic strips, showcasing his early work in visual storytelling and satirical commentary. The collection offers insight into Doré's influence on the development of the comic medium, long before the term was coined.
In "La vie en province : histoire d'une invitation à la campagne," a city-dweller reluctantly accepts a countryside invitation from a friend, only to find the quiet life a slow burn. As days stretch on with little to do, his boredom grows until he devises a dramatic ruse—writing his wife to claim she’s passed, just to excuse his early return.
