A tradition of illustration has surrounded The Divine Comedyfrom the earliest manuscripts, and Neil Packer was the perfect choice to carry this tradition. He has created illustrations for all 100 cantos, drawing out details from the text, along with frontispiece schemes of the three regions – Hell, Purgatory and Heaven. Each volume also has an original and exclusive print for framing. Packer’s work, which draws on diverse influences including English woodblock prints from the 1930s, North African designs, 18th–19th century steelpoint engravings, Dürer and Art Deco, extends to exquisite hand-drawn lettering, striking binding designs and the decorative papers lining the elaborate presentation box.
