Well, here we are again in another lockdown situation, and I am feeling grateful for … books! Books are great companions even in good times, and I have been enthralled with them ever since I was small especially those with beautiful illustrations to accompany the text. The allure of gorgeous imagery beside equally engaging writing has not lost its power, and that got me thinking about the evolution of illustration in books.
Just to be clear, here we’re not (much) concerned with narrative illustration that appeared as wall art, like frescoes or paintings on panels, though book illustrations naturally took their cue from what was happening in that area of two-dimensional representation. Wall painting in its various forms is quite ancient, but so is illustration on “paper,” as it happens.
