Appropriate quotes from the text of Paradise Lost are printed alongside each illustration. Indeed, Dor 's grand conception seems to realize perfectly Milton's own poetic version. Strong and durable material with reinforced stitching and plenty of space make this tote a very practical way to carry your daily items, all year round. The dreamlike, otherworldly quality Dor often brought to his work seems especially appropriate for Paradise Lost with its lofty spirit and epic events. Among the events depicted: the expulsion of Satan from heaven, Adam and Eve in Paradise, the nine-day fall of Lucifer's legions to Hell, the Creation, the temptation of Eve, the Flood, Moses holding up the Ten Commandments, and the fearsome creatures Milton referred to as 'Gorgons, and Hydras, and Chimeras dire.' This volume presents superb reproductions of all 50 plates drawn by Dor and engraved in his studios for the original edition of Paradise Lost.ДЄrtists and art lovers will find in these pages supreme examples of the illustrator's art. His wood-engraved illustrations for John Milton's monumental epic poem Paradise Lost, recounting mankind's fall from the grace of God through the work of Satan, were among his finest and most dramatic works.
