"The Raven" by Gustave Doré refers to a series of illustrations created by the famous French artist Paul Gustave Doré (1832–1883) for an 1884 edition of Edgar Allan Poe's narrative poem "The Raven" (1845). Doré's illustrations are highly regarded for their powerful visual representation of Poe's dark and atmospheric work, which tells the story of a man's descent into madness following a visit from a talking raven, symbolizing mournful, never-ending remembrance.

Gustave Doré was an accomplished and prolific illustrator, artist, and sculptor, known for his detailed and imaginative engravings that brought to life the pages of many literary classics. His work on "The Raven" is particularly notable for its dramatic use of light and shadow, which captures the eerie and melancholic tone of the poem. The illustrations are characterized by their gothic style and intricate detail, which serve to enhance the reader's experience of Poe's haunting verse.

Doré's interpretation of "The Raven" consists of 26 steel-plate engravings that were completed shortly before his death. These illustrations were not commissioned by Poe, as they were created nearly four decades after the poet's death, but they have since become one of the most famous visual companions to the poem. The collaboration of Poe's evocative words with Doré's striking images has been celebrated for its ability to convey the poem's mood and themes, including those of loss, despair, and the supernatural.

The 1884 edition of "The Raven" with Doré's illustrations was published by Harper & Brothers in New York and is considered a masterpiece of book illustration. It received widespread acclaim upon its release and contributed significantly to the posthumous fame of both Poe and Doré. Today, the illustrations are considered iconic in the field of visual arts and continue to influence interpretations of Poe's work in various media. The edition remains a sought-after collector's item and is often referenced in discussions of the interplay between text and illustration in the publication of literary works.
