French artist Gustave Doré (1832–1883) created 241 wood-engravings for a deluxe edition (Grande) of the 1843 French translation of the Vulgate Bible, popularly known as the Bible de Tours. La Grande Bible de Tours was simultaneously published in two volumes in 1866 by Mame in Tours, France and by Cassell & Company in the United Kingdom.
