Any idea who the illustrator is?

>2 GOBOGIE: Illustrations currently showing are unmistakably of Gustave Dore's from Joseph-Francois Michaud's History of the Crusades...

Based on quick google search and Google's ebook, author did some illustrations himself and some he had borrowed and credited the sources...

Does anyone know the thickness of these volumes?

And does anyone know if the Dore illustrations are found in other works? Was Dore the exclusive illustrator of this set? I do wish Easton Press would tell a bit more about the products they produce
