"But whose velvet violet lining with the lamplight gloating o'er She shall press, ah, nevermore!" is an illustration by the French artist Gustave Doré, created as part of a series of artworks for an 1884 edition of Edgar Allan Poe's narrative poem "The Raven." This particular piece visually interprets a line from the poem, capturing the melancholic and haunting atmosphere that characterizes Poe's work. Doré, known for his detailed and imaginative engravings, brings to life the poem's themes of loss, longing, and the supernatural through his intricate use of light and shadow.

The illustration is one of many in Doré's "The Raven" series, where each artwork corresponds to specific verses, reflecting the poem's descent into despair and madness. Doré's mastery in translating Poe's gothic sensibilities into visual form has been celebrated for its dramatic expression and emotional depth. The line depicted in the title of this illustration refers to the narrator's lost love, Lenore, and the empty chair—its cushion's velvet lining illuminated by lamplight—that she will never occupy again, underscoring the permanence of his sorrow.

As with many of Doré's works, this illustration has been widely reproduced and analyzed for its artistic merit and fidelity to the source material. It stands as a testament to Doré's ability to complement and enhance literary works through his artistic interpretations, and remains an important piece within the canon of 19th-century book illustration.
