Well, Jeremy ....
Since you listened (wisely) to the ol' Virgil once, maybe a second time will do you twice as well.
Go to this link:
http://www.divinecomedy.org/divine_comedy.html
Here you'll find a great DIVINE COMEDY site. Click on "Gallery" and you'll be in the presence of the opportunity to view more of Gustave Doré's illustrations to accompany the COMEDY. In fact, all these:
Gustave Doré Dore's Inferno 28
Gustave Doré Dore's Inferno (Black & White) 29
Gustave Doré Dore's Inferno (Various) 20
Gustave Doré Dore's Paradiso 15
Gustave Doré Dore's Purgatorio 27
Gustave Doré Dore's Purgatorio (Various) 5
At INFERNO 18 you'll find one of my favorites! It was done for the Cell & Company, 1887 Edition and features my favorite character ... in a nifty closeup.
While you're over there ... check out the forum. Virgil has been known to haunt that circle, too.
