He became a book illustrator in Paris, and his commissions included work by Rabelais, Balzac, and Dante. In 1853 he was asked to illustrate the works of Lord Byron. This was followed by other work for British publishers, including a new illustrated English Bible. He also illustrated an oversized edition of Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven.

Description: Doré's English Bible (1865) was a great success, and in 1867 he had a major exhibition of his work in London. This led to the foundation of the Doré Gallery in New Bond Street.
In 1869, Blanchard Jerrold, the son of Douglas William Jerrold, suggested that they work together to produce a comprehensive portrait of London. Jerrold had got the idea from The Microcosm of London produced by Rudolph Ackermann, William Pyne, and Thomas Rowlandson in 1808. Doré illustrated several fairy tales.

Doré signed a five-year project with the publishers, Grant & Co, that involved his staying in London for three months a year. He was paid the vast sum of £10,000 a year for his work. The book, London: A Pilgrimage, with 180 engravings was published in 1872. Although a commercial success, many critics disliked the book. Several were upset that Doré appeared to concentrate on the poverty that existed in London. He was accused by the Art Journal of "inventing rather than copying." The Westminster Review claimed that "Doré gives us sketches in which the commonest, the vulgarest external features are set down."

Description: NEBUCHADNEZZAR, powerful king of the great Babylonian empire, was proud of his achievements. He ordered that an immense golden statue should be built outside the city of Babylon, and invited all the important people of his empire to a dedication ceremony, with court musicians to play at the event. When everybody had arrived, the King’s herald announced that when the music sounded they should all bow down and worship the statue. And there was a warning! Anyone who disobeyed would be thrown into a blazing furnace. All ears were attentive, and when the music began everybody bowed down and worshipped.

Dan 3 - Three Israelites in the Fiery Furnace 03

Description: There were three young men from Israel who refused to worship the golden image as if it were a god, and of course some of the King’s servants noticed and told the king. In a rage, Nebuchadnezzar sent for the three men and asked them if it was true that they had not worshipped his golden statue. They told him that the only God they worshipped was the God of Israel, who was able to save them from the furnace. And even if He chose not to save them, they would still not serve the gods of Babylon or worship the golden statue. The king was even more furious and ordered his men to make the furnace seven times hotter. He commanded his most powerful soldiers to tie up the three young men and throw them into the furnace fully clothed. The heat was so intense that the solders died as soon as they had thrown in the three Israelites.

Description: Then the king's countenance changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his hips were loosened and his knees knocked against each other. The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king spoke, saying to the wise men of Babylon, "Whoever reads this writing, and tells me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple and have a chain of gold around his neck; and he shall be the third ruler in the kingdom." Now all the king's wise men came, but they could not read the writing, or make known to the king its interpretation. Then King Belshazzar was greatly troubled, his countenance was changed, and his lords were astonished.

Description: The queen, because of the words of the king and his lords, came to the banquet hall. The queen spoke, saying, "O king, live forever! Do not let your thoughts trouble you, nor let your countenance change. There is a man in your kingdom in whom is the Spirit of the Holy God. And in the days of your father, light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him; and King Nebuchadnezzar your father; your father the king; made him chief of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers. Inasmuch as an excellent spirit, knowledge, understanding, interpreting dreams, solving riddles, and explaining enigmas were found in this Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar, now let Daniel be called, and he will give the interpretation."

I have heard of you, that the Spirit of God is in you, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in you. Now the wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing and make known to me its interpretation, but they could not give the interpretation of the thing. And I have heard of you, that you can give interpretations and explain enigmas. Now if you can read the writing and make known to me its interpretation, you shall be clothed with purple and have a chain of gold around your neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom."
