Original drawings enhance a favorite story, April 4 2011

This review is from: Charles Dickens' a Christmas Carol: With 45 Lost Gustave Dore Engravings (1861) and 130 Other Victorian Illustrations (Hardcover)
I'm a lover of Charles Dickens and especially A Christmas Carol. I especially enjoy this book because of the beautiful and original engravings by Gustave Dore. It makes this version of A Christmas Carol so much more interesting and gives the reader a glimpse into the kind of books people read in the 1800s. Illustrations were common and enhanced the reader's enjoyment of a story. It was their version of television. Thanks for a wonderful book. A delicious bit of history and nostalgia.

This review is from: Charles Dickens' a Christmas Carol: With 45 Lost Gustave Dore Engravings (1861) and 130 Other Victorian Illustrations (Hardcover)
well, what do you want me to say? this book is a wonder, not only is it A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens one of the most loved books ever written but it also has artwork by Gustave Dore' who in my opinion is one of the greatest artist of the 19th century. the one fly in this very well realized book is that the artwork is not crisp and it is too dark to see the great detail in the printing. so i would conclude that it was not done with great passion by the publishers who may have thought of it as a Christmas book only. it also has other victorian artwork but a lot of it is uncredited. the condition of the book that i got was used and so i did not make a Christmas present of it as i had intended to. i will order another one in this calendar year for my lady friend when i show her mine and if she likes it.

I got this while on a committee for costuming a production of "A Christmas Carol". While not showing enough variety and detail to be a huge amount of help, it was useful as one piece of our research in the "feel" we wanted to create for our production. Since we were on a very tight budget and were trying to use borrowed, found, and second-hand resources, this was an important part of our research.
