[Milton-L] Doré in a Francophone translation of PL

[Angelica Duran]

Dear scholars,

Many thanks so far for all the leads on- and off-list on Doré, which help me
flesh out my knowledge of this set of illustrations.

I am still trying to find out if those illustrations have ever been
published specifically in a Francophone translation of /Paradise Lost/.

Adios,
Angelica
