However once getting the book in my hands I was quite pleased with the quality of them. The book is a great size; making the images clear and enjoyable to look at. I am considering the purchase of a second copy so I can frame some of the images.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Excellent book of engraving bordering on the surreal.By C. RidgwayThis is an excellent book of engravings for Dantes Divine Comedy. They contain some sublime and surreal illustrations using usually a high chiascuro which lends a dark and forbidding atmosphere to the Inferno. Great stuff.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. ... at jpegs of these pictures for years its so nice to have a hard copy in front of meBy Seth V.after looking at jpegs of these pictures for years its so nice to have a hard copy in front of me; dores line work was just incredible; the printing on this version is beautiful; very very nice
