EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases Gustave Dore's iconic woodcut, "The Deluge" which served as the frontispiece for an illustrated edition of the Bible in 1866. With its intricate details and dramatic composition, this artwork has become a timeless representation of one of humanity's most enduring stories. Dore, a renowned French artist from the 19th century, brings to life the biblical account of Noah's Ark and the Great Flood with his exceptional talent. The image depicts Mount Ararat towering in the background as torrential rain pours down upon Earth. In this moment frozen in time, we witness Noah and his family desperately seeking refuge on their ark amidst chaos and destruction.

As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded not only of religious significance but also appreciate it as a work of fine art. Its inclusion as a frontispiece exemplifies how book design can elevate storytelling through visual imagery. This print allows us to bring home a piece of history—a testament to human creativity and our eternal fascination with mythological origins. It serves
