Hello,

Your item is a woodcut engraving titled L’Enfer Canto 18 - The Fraudulent Ones by Salvador Dalí, from his Divine Comedy series, which was commissioned to illustrate Dante Alighieri’s epic poem. This series, created in the 1950s and 1960s, is one of Dalí’s most recognized print collections and showcases his signature surrealist style while interpreting classical literature. The work is characterized by Dalí’s vivid and imaginative visual representation of Dante’s descriptions, combining fine craftsmanship with his dreamlike artistic perspective.

The specific engraving in your possession is part of the Inferno section, depicting “The Fraudulent Ones,” and was produced using the woodcut engraving technique. Dalí’s Divine Comedy woodcuts were printed in editions, with some numbered and some signed. The condition of the engraving, as described, appears to be mint and is presented in a framed format, enhancing its display value.

In terms of current market value, unsigned and numbered prints from this series generally range between $300 and $600, depending on condition and presentation. If your engraving is signed by Dalí or accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, it could fetch between $1,500 and $2,500 or more, as signed examples are significantly more desirable among collectors.
