Summary | "Modern Illustration" by Joseph Pennell is an analytical account of the art of illustration written in the late 19th century. The work explores the development of illustration techniques from historical and contemporary perspectives, emphasizing the evolution of artistic styles and methods across various countries, including England, France, Germany, and America. This publication serves as both a critique and a celebration of illustration, considering both the artistic merit and the practical challenges faced by illustrators. The opening of the book starts with an acknowledgment of the editor's request for a discussion on contemporary illustration, and the author’s reflections on the contributions of prominent artists and engravers to the field. Pennell outlines the transformation of illustration as an art form, tracing its roots back to early illustrations and discussing the significant impact of notable artists such as Goya and Bewick. He credits modern illustration with gaining popularity through better reproduction techniques and highlights the importance of collaboration between artists and engravers. The premise sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the significance of illustration in society and its journey through different artistic movements.
