reviewed History of the Illustrated Book: The Western Tradition - John P. Harthan - Hardcover on May 02, 2008 History of the Illustrated Book
This is an extremely informative overview of illustration, and (very helpfully) doesn't stint on reproductions, providing an example for almost every illustrator mentioned. It covers European and North American illustration, although the later chapters seem to focus more on English and American movements. The book is helpfully arranged chronologically, but with some small sections on various themes or how one book was illustrated across time, countries, or movements, and these discussions provide connectivity among the other sections. In addition, an excellent bibliography and short descriptions of different printmaking processes are provided at the end of the volume. In addition to its obvious scholarly expertise, the book is extremely well written and a pleasure to read.
