"Gustave Doré 1832-83" is a notable cover illustration created by French caricaturist André Gill, which appeared on the front page of the satirical magazine L'Éclipse in 1868. The illustration is a lithograph that portrays the renowned French artist and illustrator Gustave Doré, capturing his likeness with the exaggerated features characteristic of Gill's style. In this caricature, Doré is depicted with an oversized head, a feature that became a hallmark of Gill's approach and led to the coining of the term "gill" to describe such caricatures in France.

The illustration not only reflects the popularity of Doré during his lifetime but also serves as an example of the vibrant culture of political and social satire in 19th-century French print media. L'Éclipse was a weekly magazine known for its sharp wit and critical commentary on contemporary events and figures, and Gill's work was a significant contribution to its influence. The cover illustration is emblematic of the period's artistic interactions, where artists and illustrators often became subjects of each other's work, thus creating a rich tapestry of visual and cultural references.

Gill's portrayal of Doré is significant in the history of caricature for its bold style and its role in the development of celebrity caricature in European art. The work is emblematic of the period's fascination with public figures and the power of the press to shape their public image. As a piece of historical artwork, "Gustave Doré 1832-83" remains an important artifact for understanding the interplay between art, media, and society in the late 19th century.
