"Old Coloured Books" by George Paston is a historical account published in the early 20th century that delves into the world of illustrated literature, specifically focusing on the notable works and artists from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This book discusses the contributions of various illustrators and writers, including Rudolf Ackermann, Thomas Rowlandson, and George Cruikshank, shedding light on the artistic techniques and cultural contexts that shaped their creations. The book takes readers on an informative journey through the development of illustrated books, highlighting various significant figures and their seminal works. It addresses the origins and transformations of the practices surrounding printing and illustration while exploring how these artistic expressions responded to the social and political climates of their times. With an emphasis on the interplay between text and illustration, Paston imparts knowledge about key publications such as "The Tour of Doctor Syntax" and "Life in London," demonstrating how they reflect the ethos and aesthetics of their respective eras. Through its rich descriptions and historical insights, "Old Coloured Books" serves as both a tribute to the enduring legacy of illustrated works and a rich resource for literature enthusiasts.
