"The authoritative book on the origins, history, and influence of illustration. Bravo!" David Brinley, University of Delaware, USA

History of Illustration covers image-making and print history from around the world, spanning from the ancient to the modern. Hundreds of color images show illustrations within their social, cultural, and technical context, while they are ordered from the past to the present. Readers will be able to analyze images for their displayed techniques, cultural standards, and ideas to appreciate the art form. This essential guide is the first history of illustration written by an international team of illustration historians, practitioners, and educators.
Industry Reviews
Beyond situating illustrations in a time and place as material objects, the book offers practice research methodologies for evaluating visual images, encouraging students to develop the critical skill necessary to bring intellectual rigor to current illustration production. * Journal of the Printing Historical Society *
The authoritative book on the origins, history, and influence of illustration. This book will educate and foster mutual respect between designers, fine artists, faculty colleagues, and of course, the illustration students enrolled in contemporary Bachelors of Fine Arts programs. Bravo!
Highly detailed and thorough. I especially like that the history of illustration of non-western cultures aren't ignored. . .Covers all of the major illustrators and movements.
This book is one of the most thorough histories of illustration that I have seen and it would serve graphic design students well. Its content on non-western cultures far exceeds any comprehensive illustration or design history text available at this time.
This book is probably the first to cover the subject of illustration in such depth, it should be a core study text for most illustration courses I would suggest. Even though it covers a huge amount of ground, it is very well structured and referenced. * Steve Wilkin, University of Central Lancashire, UK *
