DANTE'S INFERNO: CANTO 1 - 8

 


I have been working my way through The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri.  I found the imagery in the first book: The Inferno lent itself to creating an artist book.  I created images from the first eight Cantos of The Inferno. 


Front cover: book cloth and drawing of  Dante Alighieri.  This is a stab binding, lined with Italian decorative paper and coloured parchment paper.  The images are graphite drawings.
