Answer
At the height of his career, Gustave Doré employed 40 block-cutters to cut his drawings into woodblocks. This was necessary because Doré's drawings were so detailed and intricate that they could not be reproduced by any other means. The block-cutters were highly skilled craftsmen who were able to accurately reproduce Doré's drawings in wood.
