This collection of scholarly articles traces the history of book
illustration from its first notion in cave art to the early 20th
century. It is arranged chronologically with the first section
covering the beginning of illustration; the second moves from the
illuminated manuscript to the advent of printing; the third and
fourth takes the reader from the earliest woodcut illustrations to
the beginning of the 20th century; and the final part is concerned
with children's books. An annotated bibliography follows which will
lead the reader to additional delights and discoveries. The
contributors are distinguished art historians as well as well known
anthropologists, members of Classics and English departments,
librarians, historians, and educators. The contributions have been
chosen to cover areas, points, or ideas not generally covered in
the basic histories of illustration. Other criteria for inclusion
have been the readable style of the author, offering of new
insights into the subject, and current reporting on the field. All
the articles chosen are in English. Black and white illustrations
are provided to support the authors' presentations.
