Paul Gustave Doré, The Albatross, 1870. First published as illustration of an edition of Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner book, captioned "It ate the food it ne'er had eat", in 1876 it became plate 7 of an elephant folio edition. It was wood-engraved by Paul Jonnard and Gauchard Brunier. Still the most popular illustrator of all time, Doré profoundly influenced Van Gogh and the Symbolists.
