Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Extra-Illustration The work proved a vast success - for a book on such an artistic subject; and no one can have been more astonished than the laborious Old parson himself. It was extended, and ran through two editions within the life time Of Granger, who died in 1776. The effect of the book was to raise the price of engraved portraits five times their original value, for collectors began to illustrate the book itself. Hundreds of works were gutted in the most ruthless way, so that Hill Burton, in his delightful book-hunter, declared that the grangerite came to be contemplated with mysterious awe as a sort of literary Attila or Gengis Kahn, who has Spread terror and ruin around him.

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Of the Extra Illustration of Books If the book to be illustrated is well chosen, and taste and discrimination are exercised in its embellishment, the outcome will be as satisfactory in this as in many otherlines of book collecting. Only the ultra refined bibliophile will deny that a Pepys' Diary, interleaved with the quaintly beauti ful graven efiigies of the seventeenth century in their emblematic and fioriated borders, or the Memoirs of saint-simon, between the pages of which repose the delic ately engraved plates of Ficquet, Savart, or the inimitable Grateloup, are desirable additions to a collection of fine books. When it comes to crowding a Bible or a Shakespeare with engravings by the thousand in sets of dreary uniformity as long as your arm, we confess that extra illustration is a delusion and a snare, and a weariness to the flesh. Variety is the very essence of a book of this kind. If it lacks this spice it is bereft of a charm that is peculiarly its own.

Download or read book Extending the Book written by Erin C. Blake and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extending the Book introduces the largely-forgotten art of extra-illustration -- individually adding portraits or other illustrations to published books -- and explores what this personalized form of book design reveals about the history of reading. It includes a brief introduction to the concept of designing and creating a unique book by adding external material and an overview of the phenomenon's history and its heyday in the later eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The works of Shakespeare -- the most popular single author for extra-illustration -- exemplify the practice as it changed over time. From the beginning, extra-illustrators had to defend the "exquisite handicraft" (in the words of an 1890 proponent) against accusations of "breaking up a good book to illustrate a worse one" (in the words of an 1892 critic). This book examines the art and the practice of extra-illustration, from crudely altered books to beautiful new creations.
Download or read book Facing the Text written by Lucy Peltz and published by Huntington Library Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, thousands of books were customized with prints and drawings in a practice called extra-illustration. These books were often massively extended, lavishly bound, and prized by their owners as objects of display, status, and exchange. The scale of these compilations as well as their interdisciplinary nature - at once literary texts, printed books, art collections, and indexes of visual culture - have typically excluded them from histories of art and literature.0In this book, Lucy Peltz maps a history of extra-illustration and its social and cultural meanings, providing a fascinating account of the practice itself and the often colourful personalities who engaged in it. The remarkable contents of key extra-illustrated books are explored, along with the broader historical and commercial contexts in which they were produced and enjoyed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Illustrated Books: A History of the Decoration and Illustration of Books in the 15th and 16th Centuries In a handbook like the present this is a necessary evil, but the evil is equally conspicuous in a great number of modern books in which the illustrations are introduced solely for their decorative value. In this matter we have much to learn from the old printers, in whose books paper, type, illustrations, initial letters, and borders were all so planned as to form a har monious whole - a point to which I have endeavoured to draw attention in several places in my text. Short as the present book is, I have incurred many obligations in writing it. My chief literary debts are to the monographs of Dr. Muther, Dr. Lippmann, the Vicomte Delaborde, the Duc de Rivoli, and Mr. Conway, to which specific references are made in the chapters for which they have been used. In attempt ing, I believe for the first time, to compress in a small compass a general view of the history of book illustration during the golden age of printing, I am not ashamed to confess that my book is deeply indebted to the works of these specialists, who often have devoted a lifetime to a subject to which I could give only a few pages. But I have missed no opportunity of examining for myself every book which I mention, and as the British Museum, despite a few gaps in its collection, is splendidly rich in illustrated books, I have been obliged to write at second-hand only in a very few cases. Of more personal debts the heaviest is that which I owe to Mr. E. Gordon Duff, who has helped me on many points connected with early printing, and when illness in my family made it impossible for me to complete my book without a very serious delay, most generously came to my rescue by writing for me the chapter on English illustrated books, a special subject on which his knowledge so greatly exceeds my own that I can very heartily congratu late my readers on the change of pen.

Download or read book Of the Decorative Illustration of Books Old and New Classic Reprint written by Walter Crane and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Of the Decorative Illustration of Books Old and New This book had its origin in the course of three (Cantor) Lectures given before the Society of Arts in 1889; they have been amplified and added to, and further chapters have been written, treating of the very active period in printing and decorative book-illustration we have seen since that time, as well as some remarks and suggestions touching the general principles and conditions governing the design of book pages and ornaments. It is not nearly so complete or comprehensive as I could have wished, but there are natural limits to the bulk of a volume in the "Ex-Libris series" and it has been only possible to carry on such a work in the intervals snatched from the absorbing work of designing. Within its own lines, however, I hope that if not exhaustive, the book may be found fairly representative of the chief historical and contemporary types of decorative book-illustration. In the selection of the illustrations, I have endeavoured to draw the line between the purely graphic aim, on the one hand, and the ornamental aim on the other - between what I should term the art of pictorial statement and the art of decorative treatment; though there are many cases in which they are combined, as, indeed, in all the most complete book-pictures, they should be. My purpose has been to treat of illustrations which are also book-ornaments, so that purely graphic design, as such, unrelated to the type, and the conditions of the page, does not come within my scope.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chronicles of America Series, Vol. 42: Extra-Illustrated Edition The South of today is not the South of 1860 or even of 1865. There is a New South, though not perhaps in the sense usually understood, for no expression has been more often misused in superficial discussion. Men have written as if the phrase indicated a new land and a new civilization, utterly unlike anything that had existed before and involving a sharp break with the history and the traditions of the past. Nothing could be more untrue. Peoples do not in one generation or in two rid themselves entirely of characteristics which have been developing for centuries. There is a New South, but it is a logical development from the Old South. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Book Illustration: A Few Examples of Halftone Process The field of illustrated books is enlarging so rapidly, and the public becoming so discriminating, that the publisher has more than ever to consider quality in illustrations. Mere copies of pictures such as are produced generally by engravers of commer cial work will not fill present demands. The hand and eye of the trained artist are necessary. The james S. Conant company have always made a specialty of the highest grade of halftone reproductions and take pleasure in submitting a few specimens of their recent engravings. They call attention in particular to the 200 screen reproductions, these showing more detail than possible with the 150 screen usually employed, and yet not losing brilliancy in effect. This class of art work is particularly advised where the best in quality of bookmaking is considered. This work will have the supervision of Mr. Wm. Jay Dana, whose high standing as an artist and as an engraver is well known, and it is hoped the benefit of his suggestions in matters pertaining to the selection of originals, to retouching, to the re etching and hand engraving of halftone plates will be of material assistance to those calling upon us. Correspondence or personal interviews with publishers and others interested in the best halftone illustrations is solicited.
