Dore's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; each line meticulously etched to create depth and texture. The composition effortlessly guides our eyes across the print, revealing hidden nuances at every turn. "The Joyous Sprites" serves as a testament to the enduring power of legends and mythology in English literature.
