The history of book illustration in the period 1880-1930 is the story of a mechanical process releasing a great flowering talent. Michael Felmingham examines photomechanical methods of reproduction and looks at the illustrators (as well as their books) describing their markets training techniques remuneration and professional and social lives. The giftbooks dealt with here were of such an amazing richness and diversity and were produced in such large numbers that the period can be described as the Golden Age of book illustration. It has certainly proved to be an exciting field for collector booklover and art historian.
