I have here for sale a book entitled MILTON'S PARADISE LOST published by Cassell, Petter and Galpin in 1890.  It is illustrated with 50 beautiful full- page tissue-guarded plates by Gustave Dore and is edited with notes and a Life of Milton by Robert Vaughan.   It tells the story of Adam and Eve's fall from grace in the Garden of Eden, as well as Satan's rebellion against God. Dore's collection of detailed and dramatic illustrations brings the characters and events of the poem to life, depicting angels, demons, and heavenly battles in vivid detail. The artwork is considered some of the most iconic and influential representations of the story and continues to inspire artists and readers today.
