Summary: "Early Illustrated Books" by Alfred W. Pollard is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on the decoration and illustration of books during the 15th and 16th centuries, providing an in-depth exploration of the techniques and artistic practices of early printers and illuminators. Readers can expect a detailed analysis of the evolution of book production, illustration, and the various influences that shaped this art form during the Renaissance. The opening of the book presents a preface where Pollard reflects on his initial fascination with the subject matter almost twenty-five years prior to writing. He expresses gratitude for the help he received from various scholars and emphasizes his goal to create an accessible introductory piece rather than a complex scholarly work. The text also outlines the book's structure, indicating the organization by country and key themes, such as the competition between scribes and printers, the emergence of illustrated books, and the differences in artistic styles across Europe. Pollard's careful historical context and emphasis on the craftsmanship of book production set the stage for a deeper understanding of the birth of illustrated books.
