The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Dore's engravings for The Rime are considered by many to be his greatest work. The full text is augmented by 38 plates of open seas, whirlpools, sea monsters, the ice of Antarctica, and more.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834) was a founder of the English Romantic movement and a member of the Lake Poets. Although less well known than his contemporaries Wordsworth and Shelley, he created an enormously influential body of poetry and literary criticism. The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is his masterpiece.

French illustrator Gustave Doré (1833-83) began his prolific career at the age of 15, and his dramatic engravings have exercised an incalculable influence over latter-day artists. The remarkable scope of his work ranges from Milton, Dante, and the Bible to Rabelais, Shakespeare, and street scenes of 19th-century London.
