Pollard is a scholarly collection of essays written in the early 20th century. The work explores the history and significance of illustrated books, particularly focusing on old picture books, woodcuts, and their role in artistic and literary contexts. Pollard draws attention to the craftsmanship involved in the making of these books and the cultural implications of their illustrations. The beginning of this work sets the tone by discussing the evolution of illustrated books, starting from the early 1502 edition of Virgil. Pollard reflects on the duality of illustration as both an art form and a craft that evolves over time. He introduces the reader to various early woodcut makers and how their works not only provided narratives but also infused contemporary life into the stories depicted. The opening portion establishes a rich historical context, showcasing how illustrations were intended for various audiences, thus serving both educational and decorative purposes in literary culture.
