Gustave Dore
G. Dore. Histoire pittoresque dramatique et caricaturale de la sainte Russie. 1
In French. Short description: Gustave Dore. Histoire pittoresque dramatique et caricaturale de la sainte Russie. Paris: J. Bry aine 1854. The French painter Gustave Dor? (1832-1883) is known to many primarily as an illustrator of the Bible and works of classical literature. However he was also a talented cartoonist. During the Crimean War when France together with Great Britain and the Ottoman Empire fought against Russia Dor? like some other European artists of that era touched on the topic of anti-Russian propaganda in his work. In 1854 his book-album The History of Holy Rus' was published in Paris. It was an anti-Russian military pamphlet in graphic novel format. The album contains over 500 cartoons. All illustrations are provided with comments written by Dore himself. The History of Holy Rus' depicted Russia as a terrible country inhabited by crazy savages. The album was replete with all sorts of propaganda clich?s negative clich?s stereotypes and myths. The book showed the entire history of Russia from Rurik to the Crimean War in an acutely satirical vein. Dore paid especially close attention to the key figures of Russian history - Ivan the Terrible methodically destroying his own subjects and Peter the Great paving the way for reforms over the mountains of the corpses of his fellow citizens. However Nicholas I his domestic and foreign policy got the most of course. In the Russian Empire History of Holy Rus' for obvious reasons was immediately banned. For the first time as a separate edition in Russian it was published only in 2012. Please feel free to contact us for a detailed description of the copies available. SKUMS001919
