Summary "The Illustration of Books" by Joseph Pennell is a practical manual on the art of book illustration written in the late 19th century. The book is structured around a series of lectures given to students at the Slade School, focusing on the techniques and methods of illustrating for publication. It delves into historical context, materials, and processes that artists must understand to create effective illustrations that translate well to print. At the start of the text, the author outlines his motivations for writing this manual, addressing the growing demand for illustrations amidst the proliferation of illustrated publications. He emphasizes that while talent in drawing is essential, understanding the mechanical aspects of reproduction and the expectations of editors and publishers is equally critical for success in illustration. The opening portion sets the stage for a detailed exploration of illustration as both an art form and a craft, establishing the importance of rigorous training and adaptation to the ever-evolving methods of producing illustrated works.
