Summary "The Art of Illustration" by Henry Blackburn is a comprehensive guide on the techniques and practices of book and newspaper illustration written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the evolving field of illustration, particularly focusing on the new methods of drawing for process reproduction that artists and illustrators are increasingly required to understand and master. The text aims to educate both practitioners and students about the essential principles of effectively translating visual ideas into illustrations suitable for print. The opening of this book establishes its purpose and scope, emphasizing the significance of understanding both traditional and modern engraving techniques, particularly the distinction between intaglio and relief methods. Blackburn discusses the transition from wood engraving to more contemporary processes, such as photo-zinc, and highlights the challenges illustrators face with the integration of photography in their craft. Additionally, he touches upon the importance of education in illustration, arguing that artists must evolve their skills and adapt to new technologies to stay relevant in a changing artistic landscape.
