[Milton-L] Milton and Doré

[Angelica Duran]

Dear scholars,

I have been stymied in a search for the first French translation of Paradise
Lost that contains the illustrations by Gustave Doré.  When I type in a
variety of combinations of likely keywords in WorldCat ‹ ³Gustave Doré²
(with and without accent); ³John Milton² or ³Paradise Lost² or ³paradise
perdu²; Limit language to ³French² -- I come up only with a short film.

I am puzzled because I could easily find early French translations of
Dante¹s Inferno, etc., with Doré¹s illustrations.

Could someone direct me to a bibliography of English works translated to
French in the late 19th century (Doré¹s produced his illustrations in the
1860s) where I could search for such a publication, or advise me how to find
the first French translation of Paradise Lost that contains Doré¹s
illustrations?  

Many thanks in advance.

Adios,
