French printmaker, illustrator, painter, comics artist, caricaturist, & sculptor Gustave Doré was born #OTD in 1832. He is best known for his prolific output of wood-engravings illustrating classic literature. He created over 10,000 illustrations, the most important of which were copied using an electrotype process using cylinder presses, allowing very large print runs to be published simultaneously in many countries. via @wikipedia
