Remark:
Offhand, I do not think the abundant Doré illustrations quite match those in the Chartwell edition (1982), perhaps especially because of the paper used here. An excellent bilingual presentation, always with Doré's small etchings and often with his full-pagers. The introduction gives a good sense of Elizur Wright's life and translation work.
