The Decorative Illustration of Books Book

Originally published in 1896, this survey of book illustration is both a comprehensive guide to many facets of early work in the field & important evidence of Victorian taste & the influences which shaped it. Crane begins by describing the artist s role in producing manuscripts & early printed books up to the end of the 16th century, giving an account of Italian, French & German work.

Over 100 drawings.Read More
