Bemerkung:

Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - The Dictionary of 20th Century British Book Illustrators continues the work started by Simon Houfe in the Antique Collectors' Club's important Dictionary of British Book Illustrators and Caricaturists 1800-1914 (new edition 1994). Houfe's book has become the major source for information about illustrators who worked in the period, and Alan Home's work is destined to be of equal importance for librarians, collectors and dealers interested in the illustrators of the twentieth century. This book contains information about some 1,000 British illustrators, the lesser known as well as the masters in the field, whose work was published during these seventy years in the twentieth century. Introductory articles on such topics as commercial art, wood engravings and children's book illustrators are followed by entries on individual illustrators. Biographical details of each artist are followed by lists of books and journals illustrated, the galleries and museums where the artist's work has been exhibited and collected, and a detailed bibliography. More than 300 black and white and 1 60 full colour illustrations are a visual reminder of the style and subject matter of many of the illustrators. The broad scope and detailed information of The Dictionary of 20th Century British Book Illustrators will make this an essential reference tool for all those interested in the graphic art of the twentieth century in Britain.
