Dense grid of small black-and-white engravings showing figures, horses and landscapes, interspersed with dark square panels on pale paper.

Dom Quixote (Gustave Doré)

A dense grid of small black-and-white engravings fills the frame, with many tiles of hatched figures, horses, and landscapes set among darker square panels. The uniform layout and fine line work suggest a book-illustration series printed on a pale paper ground.
