En la vida de Gustave Doré
La vida entera1860s
“Don Quixote” illustrated by Doré
In the 1860s Doré illustrates a French edition of Cervantes's “Don Quixote”; his depictions of the knight and his squire, Sancho Panza, become so famous that they influence subsequent readers', artists' and stage and film directors' ideas of the physical “look” of the two characters.
1860s
Dante, Perrault and Baron Munchausen
The 1860s bring Doré's illustrations to Dante's “Inferno” and “Paradiso”, to Charles Perrault's fairy tales and to the adventures of Baron Munchausen.
1866
The illustrated Bible is a great success
Doré's illustrations for the Bible (1866) are a great success.

Knight Commander of the Order of Carlos III
1867
A major exhibition in London and the Doré Gallery
In 1867 a major exhibition of Doré's work is held in London; it leads to the foundation of the Doré Gallery in Bond Street.
1869
A contract for “London: A Pilgrimage”: £10,000 a year
In 1869 Blanchard Jerrold suggests that he and Doré work together on a comprehensive portrait of London, modelled on “The Microcosm of London” by Rudolph Ackermann, William Pyne and Thomas Rowlandson. Doré signs a five-year contract with the publishers Grant & Co: he is to stay in London for three months a year and receives the vast sum of £10,000 a year for the project.
