from the late ,mr4 ,gleeson ,white's hands1 unaltered4 ,edinburgh3 ,t4 and ,a4 ,constable1 ,printers to ,his ,majesty ,,to ,a4 ,m4 ,g4 ,w4 ,,and ,c4 ,r4 ,g4 ,w4 ,,in ,,memory ,,of ,,the ,,many ,,hours ,,spent ,,ungrudgingly ,,in ,,proof ,,reading ,,preface ,in a past century the author of a well-digested and elaborately accurate monograph1 the fruit of a life's labour1 was well content to entitle it ',brief ,contributions towards a ,history of ,so-and-,so4' ,nowadays1 after a few weeks' special cramming1 a hastily written record of the facts which most impressed the writer is labelled often enough ',a ,history4' ,were this book called by the earlier phrase1 it would still be overweighted4 ,nor did an ,english idiom exist that would provide the exact synonym for catalogue-raisonn1 could the phrase be employed truthfully4 ,it is at most a roughly annotated1 tentative catalogue like those issued for art critics on press-days with the superscription 'under revision'--an equivalent of the legal reservation 'without prejudice4' ,to conceal the labour and present the results in interesting fashion1 which is the aim of the ,chancellor of the ,exchequer on a ',budget' night1 ought also to be that of the compiler of any document crammed with distantly unrelated facts4 ,but the time required for rewriting a book of this class1 after it has grown into shape1 would be enough to appal a person who had no other duties to perform1 and absolutely prohibitive to one not so happily placed4 ,in estimating the errors which are certain to have crept into this record of a few thousand facts selected from many thousands1 the author is obviously the last person to have any idea of their number2 for did he suspect their existence1 they would be corrected before the work appeared4 ,yet all the same1 despite his own efforts and those of kindly hands who have re-collated the references in the majority of cases1 he cannot flatter himself he has altogether escaped the most insidious danger that besets a compilation of this kind1 namely1 overlooking some patently obvious facts which are as familiar to him as to any candid critic who is sure to discover their absence4 ,the choice of representative illustrations has been most perplexing4 ,some twenty years' intimacy with most of the books and magazines mentioned herein made it still less easy to decide upon their abstract merits4 ,personal prejudice--unconscious1 and therefore the more subtle--is sure to have influenced the selection2 sometimes1 perhaps1 by choosing old favourites which others regard as second-rate1 and again by too reticent approval of those most appreciated personally1 from a fear lest the partiality should be sentimental rather than critical4 ,but1 and it is as well to make the confession at once1 many have been excluded for matters quite unconnected with their art4 ,judging from the comments of the average person who is mildly interested in the ,english illustrations of the past1 his sympathy vanishes at once if the costumes depicted are 'old-fashioned4' ,whilst ,i have been working on these books1 if a visitor called1 and turned over their pages1 unless he chanced to be an artist by profession as well as by temperament1 the spoon-bill bonnet and the male 'turban' of the 'sixties' merely provoked ridicule4 ,as my object is to reawaken interest in work familiar enough to artists1 but neglected at present by very many people1 it seems wiser not to set things before them which would only irritate4 ,again1 it is difficult to be impartial concerning the beauty of old favourites2 whether your mother or sister happen to be handsome is hardly a point of which you are a trustworthy judge4 ,other omissions are due to the right1 incontestable if annoying1 every other person possesses in common with oneself1 'to do what he likes with his own'2 and certain publishers1 acting on this principle1 prefer that half-forgotten engravings should remain so4 ,the information and assistance so freely given should be credited in detail1 yet to do so were to occupy space already exceeded4 ,but ,i cannot avoid naming ,mr4 ,g4 ,h4 ,boughton1 ,r4,a41 ,mr4 ,dalziel1 ,mr4 ,g4 ,r4 ,halkett1 ,mr4 ,fairfax ,murray1 and ,mr4 ,joseph ,pennell for their kind response to various inquiries4 ,thanks are also due to the many holders of copyrights who have permitted the illustrations to be reproduced4 ,as some blocks have changed hands since they first appeared1 the original source given below each picture does not always indicate the owner who has allowed it to be included4 ,the artists' names are printed in many cases without titles bestowed later1 as it seemed best to quote them as they stood at the time the drawing was published4 ,lastly1 ,i have to thank ,mr4 ,temple ,scott for his elaborate index1 prepared with so much care1 which many interested in the subject will find the most useful section of the book4 ,the claims of wood-engraving versus process have been touched upon here very rarely4 ,if any one doubts that nearly all the drawings of the 'sixties' lost much1 and that many were wholly ruined by the engraver1 he has but to compare them with reproductions by modern processes from a few originals that escaped destruction at the time4 ,if this be not a sufficient evidence1 the ,british ,museum and ,south ,kensington have many examples in their permanent collections which will quickly convince the most stubborn4 ,if some few engravers managed to impart a certain interest at the expense of the original work1 which not merely atones for the loss but supplies in its place an intrinsic work of art1 such exceptions no way affect the argument4 ,wood-engraving of the first order is hardly likely to die out4 ,it is true that1 as the craft finds fewer recruits1 the lessened number of journeymen1 experts in technique 7whence real artist-engravers may be expected to spring up at intervals71 will diminish the supply4 ,given the artist as craftsman1 he may always be trusted to distance his rival1 whether it be mechanism or a profit-making corporation which reduces the individuality of its agents to the level of machines4 ,for in art1 still more than in commerce1 it is the personal equation that finally controls and shapes the project to mastery1 and the whole charm of the sixties is the individual charm of each artist4 ,the incompetent draughtsman1 then1 was no less uninteresting than he is to-day2 even the fairly respectable illustrators gain nothing by the accident that they flourished in 'the golden decade4' ,but the best of the work which has never ceased to delight fellow-workers will1 no doubt1 maintain its interest in common with good work of all schools and periods4 ,therefore1 this rough attempt at a catalogue of some of its most striking examples1 although its publication happens to coincide with a supposed 'boom1' may have more than ephemeral value if it save labour in hunting up commonplace facts to many people now and in the future4 ,this plea is offered in defence of the text of a volume which1 although cut down from its intended size1 and all too large1 is yet but a rough sketch4 ,collectors of all sorts know the various stages which their separate hobbies impose on them4 ,first1 out of pure love for their subject1 they gather together chance specimens almost at haphazard4 ,then1 moved by an ever-growing interest1 they take the pursuit more seriously1 and1 as one by one the worthier objects fall into their hands1 they grow still more keen4 ,later1 they discover to their sorrow that a complete collection is1 humanly speaking1 impossible3 certain unique examples are not to be obtained for love or money1 or1 at all events1 for the amount at their personal disposal4 ,at last they realise1 perhaps1 that after all the cheapest and most easily procured are also the most admirable and delightful4 ,this awakening comes often enough when a catalogue has been prepared1 and on looking over it they find that the treasures they valued at one time most highly are only so estimated by fellow-collectors2 then they realise that the more common objects which fall within the reach of every one are by far the best worth possessing4 ,a homely ,american phrase 7and the word homely applies in a double sense7 runs3 ',he has bitten off more than he can chew4' ,the truth of the remark is found appropriate as ,i write these final words4 ,to mark1 learn1 and inwardly digest the output of ten to fifteen years' illustration must needs be predestined failure1 if space and time for its preparation are both limited4 ,the subject has hitherto been almost untouched1 and when in certain aspects it has attracted writers1 they have approached it almost always from the standpoint of artistic appreciation and criticism4 ,here1 despite certain unintentional lapses into that nobler path1 the intention has been to keep strictly to a catalogue of published facts and with a few bibliographical notes added4 ,setting out with a magnificent scheme--to present an iconography of the work of every artist of the first rank--the piles of manuscript devoted to this comprehensive task which are at my side prove the impracticability of the enterprise4 ,to annotate the work of ,sir ,john ,gilbert or ,mr4 ,birket ,foster would require for each a volume the size of this4 ,but as ,punch1 ,the ,illustrated ,london ,news1 and the ,moxon ,tennyson have already been the subject of separate monographs1 no doubt in future years each branch of the subject that may be worth treating exhaustively will supply material for other monographs4 ,the chief disappointment in preparing a reference-book of this class belongs to the first compiler only2 the rest have the joy of exposing his shortcomings and correcting his errors1 combined with the pleasure of indulging in that captious criticism which any overheard dialogue in the streets shows to be the staple of ,english conversation4

,,collector ,the borderland between the hallowed past and the matter-of-fact present is rarely attractive4 ,it appeals neither to our veneration nor our curiosity4 ,its heroes are too recent to be deified1 its secrets are all told4 ,if you estimate a generation as occupying one-third of a century1 you will find that to most people thirty-three years ago1 more or less1 is the least fascinating of all possible periods4 ,its fashions in dress yet linger in faded travesties1 its once refined tastes no longer appeal to us1 its very aspirations1 if they do not seem positively ludicrous1 are certain to appear pathetically insufficient4 ,yet there are not wanting signs which denote that the rush of modern life1 bent on shortening times of waiting1 will lessen the quarantine which a period of this sort has had to suffer hitherto before it could be looked upon as romantically attractive instead of appearing repulsively old-fashioned4 ,for the moment you are able to take a man of a former generation1 and can regard him honestly1 not as a contemporary with all human weakness1 but with the glamour which surrounds a hero2 he is released from the commonplace present and has joined the happy past4 ,therein he may find justice without prejudice4 ,of course the chances are that1 be he artist or philosopher1 the increased favour bestowed upon him will not extend to his subjects1 or perhaps his method of work2 but so sure as you find the artists of any period diligently studied and imitated1 it is almost certain that the costumes they painted1 the furniture and accessories they admired1 and the thought which infused their work1 will be less intolerable1 and possibly once again restored to full popularity4 ,not very long ago anything within the limits of the century was called modern4 ,perhaps because its early years were passed in yearnings for the classic days of old ,greece1 and later in orthodox raptures over the bulls of ,nineveh and the relics of dead ,pharaohs4 ,then by degrees the ,middle ,ages also renewed their interest3 the great ,gothic revival but led the way to a new exploration of the ,queen ,anne and ,georgian days4 ,so in domestic life ,england turned to its ,chippendale and ,sheraton1 ,america to its colonial houses1 and the word 'antique1' instead of being of necessity limited to objects at least a thousand years old was applied to those of a bare hundred4 ,now1 when the nineteenth century has one foot in the grave1 we have but to glance back a few years to discover that what was so lately 'old-fashioned' is fast attaining the glamour of antiquity4 ,even our immediate progenitors who were familiar with the railway and telegraph1 and had heard of photography1 seem to be in other respects sufficiently unlike our contemporaries to appear quite respectably ancestral to-day4 ,it is true that we have compensations3 the new photography and electric lighting are our own joys2 and the new criticism had hardly begun1 except perhaps in the ,far ,west1 during the time of this previous generation--the time that begins with a memory of the project for the ,great ,exhibition1 and ends with an equally vivid recollection of the collapse of the ,third ,empire4 ,in those days people still preserved a sentimental respect for the artist merely because he was 'an artist1' quite apart from his technical accomplishment4 ,it was the period of magenta and crinoline--the period that saw1 ere its close1 the twin domes of the second ,international ,exhibition arise in its midst to dominate ,south ,kensington before they were moved to ,muswell ,hill and were burnt down without arousing national sorrow--in short1 it was 'the sixties4' ,only yesterday 'the sixties' seemed a synonym for all that was absurd4 ,is it because most of us who make books to-day were at school then1 and consequently surveyed the world as a superfluous and purely inconsequent background8 ,for people who were children in the sixties are but now ripening to belief in the commonplace formul dear to an orthodox ,british citizen4 ,to their amazement they find that not a few of the pupils of the 'seventies1' if not of the 'eighties1' have already ripened prematurely to the same extent4 ,have we not heard a youth of our time1 in a mood not wholly burlesque1 gravely discussing the sthetic movement of the 'eighties' as soberly as men heretofore discussed the movement of a century previous8 ,were the purpose of this book phrase-making instead of a dull record of facts1 we might style this sudden appreciation of comparatively recent times the ,new ,antiquity4 ,to a child the year before last is nearly as remote as the time of the ,norman ,conquest1 or of ,julius ,csar4 ,possibly this sudden enlightenment respecting the artistic doings of the mid-,victorian period may indicate the return to childhood which is part of a nonagenarian's equipment4 ,at seventy or eighty1 our lives are spent in recollections half a century old1 but at ninety the privilege may be relaxed1 and the unfortunate loiterer on the stage may claim to select a far more recent decade as his ,golden ,age1 even if by weakening memory he confuses his second childhood with his first4 ,to-day not a few people interested in the ,arts find 'the sixties' a time as interesting as in the last century men found the days of ,praxiteles1 or as1 still more recently1 the ,middle ,ages appeared to the early pre-,raphaelites4 ,these few1 however1 are more or less disciples of the illustrator1 as opposed to those who consider 'art' and 'painting' synonymous terms4 ,not long since the only method deemed worthy of an artist was to paint in oils4 ,to these1 perhaps1 to be literally exact1 you might add a few pedants who recognised the large aims of the worker in fresco1 and a still more restricted number who believed in the maker of stained glass1 mosaic1 or enamel1 if only his death were sufficiently remote4 ,now1 however1 the humble illustrator1 the man who fashions his dreams into designs for commercial reproduction by wood-engraving or 'process1' has found an audience1 and is acquiring rapidly a fame of his own4 ,for those who recognise most sincerely1 and with no affectation1 the importance of the mere illustrator1 this attempt to make a rough catalogue of his earlier achievements may be not without interest4 ,yet it is not put forward as a novel effort4 ,one of the most hopeful auguries towards the final recognition of the pen-draughtsmen of the sixties quickly comes to light as you begin to search for previous notices of their work4 ,it was not ,mr4 ,joseph ,pennell who first appreciated them4 ,it is true that he carried the report of their powers into unfamiliar districts2 but1 long before his time1 ,mr4 ,j4 ,m4 ,gray1 ,mr4 ,edmund ,gosse1 and many another had paid in public due tribute to their excellence4 ,nor can you find that they were unappreciated by their contemporaries4 ,on the contrary1 our popular magazines were filled with their work4 ,despite ,mr4 ,ruskin's consistent 'aloofness' and inconsistent 'diatribes1' many critics of their own day praised them2 their names were fairly well known to educated people1 their works sold largely1 they obtained good prices1 and commissions1 as the published results bear witness1 were showered upon them4 ,but1 until to-day1 the draughtsman for periodicals was deemed a far less important person than the painter of ,academy pictures4 ,now1 without attempting to rob the ,r4,a4 of its historic glory1 we see there are others without the fold who1 when the roll-call of nineteenth-century artists is read1 will answer ',adsum4' ,there are signs that the collector1 always ready for a fresh hobby1 will before long turn his attention to the ,english wood-engravings of this century1 as eagerly as he has been attracted heretofore by the early woodcuts of ,german and ,italian origin1 or the copper-plates of all countries and periods4 ,it is true that ,bewick already enjoys the distinction1 and that ,cruikshank and ,leech have also gained a reputation in the sale-rooms1 and that ,blake1 for reasons only partly concerned with art1 has for some time past had a faithful and devout following4 ,but the prices realised1 so far1 by the finest examples of the later wood-engravings1 in the ,moxon edition of ,tennyson's ,poems1 in ,once a ,week1 and ,messrs4 ,dalziels' books1 are not such as to inspire faith in the collector who esteems his treasures chiefly for their value under the hammer4 ,but in this case1 as in others1 the moderate prices demanded in #ahif may not be the rule a few months hence4 ,already1 although books rarely fetch as much as the original published cost1 they are getting scarce4 ,you may hunt the ,london shops in vain1 and ransack the second-hand stores in the big provincial towns and not light on ,jean ,ingelow's ,poems1 #dto1 ,thornbury's ,legendary ,ballads1 or even ,wayside ,poesies1 or a ,round of ,days1 all fairly common but a short time ago4 ,there are two great divisions of the objects that attract collectors4 ,in the first come all items of individual handiwork1 where no two can be precisely alike 7since replicas by the authors are too rare to destroy the argument71 and each specimen cannot be duplicated4 ,into this class fall paintings and drawings of all sorts1 gems1 sword-guards1 lacquer1 and ivories1 and a thousand other objects of art4 ,in the second1 where duplicates have been produced in large numbers1 the collector has a new ideal--to complete a collection that contains examples of every variety of the subject1 be they artistic3--coins1 etchings1 or engravings of any sort2 natural objects3--butterflies1 or crystals1 or things which belong neither to nature nor art3--postage-stamps1 the majority of book-plates1 and other trifles so numerous that even a bare list might extend to pages4 ,the first class demands a long purse1 and has1 of necessity1 a certain failure confronting it1 for many of the best specimens are already in national collections1 and cannot by any chance come into the market4 ,but in the second class1 no matter how rare a specimen may be1 there is always a hope1 and in many cases not a forlorn one1 that some day1 in some likely or unlikely place1 its fellow may be discovered4 ,and the chance of picking up a treasure for a nominal price adds to the zest of the collector1 whose real delight is in the chase1 far more than in the capture4 ,who does not hope to find a twopenny box containing 7as once they did7 a first edition of ,fitzgerald's ,omar ,khayym8 or a ,rembrandt's ,three ,trees in a first state8 ,or to discover a ,tetradrachm ,syracuse1 ,b4,c4 #cag1 'with the superb head of ,persephone and the spirited quadriga1 on the obverse1' in some tray of old coins in a foreign market-place8 ,without more preamble1 we may go on to the objects the new collector wishes to acquire2 and to provide him with a hand-book that shall set him on the track of desirable specimens4 ,this desultory gossip may also serve to explain indirectly the aims and limits of the present volume1 which does not pretend to be a critical summary1 not a history of art1 and neither a treatise on engravers1 nor an anecdotal record of artists1 but merely a working book of reference1 whatever importance it possesses being due only to the fine examples of the subject1 which those concerned have most kindly permitted to be reproduced4 ,it is quite true that in collecting1 the first of the two classes demands more critical knowledge1 because as it is not a collection but only a selection that is within the reach of any one owner1 it follows that each item must reflect his taste and judgment4 ,in the second division there is danger lest the rush for comprehensiveness may dull the critical faculty1 until1 by and by1 the ugly and foolish rarity is treasured far more than the beautiful and artistic items which are not rare1 and so fail to command high prices4 ,in fact the danger of all collectors is this alluring temptation which besets other people in other ways4 ,many people prefer the exception to the rule1 the imperfect sport to the commonplace type4 ,if so1 this discursive chatter is not wholly irrelevant1 since it preludes an apology for including certain references to work distinctly below the level of the best1 which1 by its accidental position in volumes where the best occurs1 can hardly be ignored completely4 ,another point of conscience arises which each must decide for himself4 ,supposing that the collection of wood-engravings of the sixties assumes the proportion of a craze1 must the collector retain intact a whole set of an illustrated periodical for the sake of a few dozen pictures within it1 or if he decides to tear them out1 will he not be imitating the execrable ,john ,bagford1 who destroyed twenty-five thousand volumes for the sake of their title-pages8 ,must he mutilate a ,tennyson's ,poems 7,moxon1 #aheg7 or ,the ,music-master1 or many of ,dalziels' gift-books1 for the sake of arranging his specimens in orderly fashion8 ,the dilemma is a very real one4 ,even if one decides to keep volumes entire1 the sets of magazines are so bulky1 and in some cases contain such a small proportion of valuable work1 that a collector cannot find space for more than a few of them4 ,possibly a fairly representative collection might be derived entirely from the back-numbers of periodicals1 if any huge stores have yet survived the journey to the paper-mill or the flames2 the one or the other being the ultimate fate of every magazine or periodical that is not duly bound before it has lost its high estate1 as 'a complete set1' and become mere odd numbers or waste-paper4 ,so far the question of cost has not been raised1 nor at present need it frighten the most economic4 ,taking all the subjects referred to in this book1 with perhaps one or two exceptions 7,allingham's ,music-master1 #ahee1 for instance71 ,i doubt if a penny a piece for all the illustrations in the various volumes 7counting the undesirable as well as the worthy specimens7 would not be far above the market-price of the whole4 ,but the penny each1 like the old story of the horse-shoes1 although not in this case governed by geometrical progression1 would mount up to a big total4 ,yet1 even if you purchase the books at a fair price1 the best contain so many good illustrations1 that the cost of each is brought down to a trifle4 ,having decided to collect1 and bought or obtained in other ways1 so that you may entitle your treasures 7as ,south ,kensington ,museum labels its novelties7 'recent acquisitions1' without scrupulous explanation of the means employed to get them1 you are next puzzled how to arrange them4 ,it seems to me that a fine book should be preserved intact4 ,there are but comparatively few of its first edition1 and of these few a certain number are doomed to accidental destruction in the ordinary course of events1 so that one should hesitate before cutting up a fine book1 and be not hasty in mutilating a volume of ,once a ,week or the ,shilling ,magazine4 ,but if you have picked up odd numbers1 and want to preserve the prints1 a useful plan is to prepare a certain number of cardboard or cloth-covered boxes filled with single sheets of thick brown paper4 ,in these an oblique slit is made to hold each corner of the print4 ,by this method subjects can be mounted quickly1 and1 as the collection grows1 new sub-divisions can be arranged and the subjects distributed among a larger number of boxes4 ,this plan allows each print to be examined easily1 the brown paper stands wear and tear and shows no finger-marks1 and affords a pleasant frame to the engraving4 ,pasting-down in albums should be viewed with suspicion--either the blank leaves for specimens still to be acquired are constantly in evidence to show how little you possess1 compared with your expectations2 or else you will find it impossible to place future purchases in their proper order4 ,there is a process1 known as print-splitting1 which removes the objectionable printed back that ruins the effect of many good wood-engravings4 ,it is a delicate1 but not a very difficult operation1 and should the hobby spread1 young lady artists might do worse than forsake the poorly-paid production of nasty little head-pieces for fashion-papers and the like1 and turn deft fingers to a more worthy pursuit4 ,it needs an artistic temperament to split the print successfully1 and a market would be quickly opened up if moderate prices were charged for the new industry4 ,one could wish that representative collections of the best of these prints were gathered together and framed inexpensively1 for gifts or loans to schools1 art industrial classes1 and other places where the taste of pupils might be raised by their study4 ,the cheap process-block from a photograph is growing to be the staple form of black and white that the average person meets with in his daily routine4 ,the cost of really fine etchings1 mezzotints1 lithographs1 and other masterpieces of black and white prohibits their being scattered broadcast2 but while the fine prints by ,millais1 ,sandys1 ,hughes1 ,pinwell1 ,fred ,walker1 and the rest are still to be bought cheaply1 the opportunity should not be lost4 ,,chapter ,,ii3 ,,the ,,illustrated ,,periodicals ,,before ,,the ,,sixties ,the more you study the position of illustrators during the last forty years1 the more you are inclined to believe that they owe their very existence1 as a class1 to the popularity of magazines and periodicals4 ,from the time ,once a ,week started1 to the present to-day1 the bulk of illustrations of any merit have been issued in serial publications4 ,it is easy to find a reason for this4 ,the heavy cost of the drawings1 and1 until recent times1 the almost equally heavy cost of engraving them1 would suffice to prohibit their lavish use in ordinary books4 ,for it must not be forgotten that every new book is1 to a great extent1 a speculation2 whereas the circulation of a periodical1 once it is assured1 varies but slightly4 ,a book may be prepared for twenty thousand buyers1 and not attract one thousand2 but a periodical that sold twenty thousand of its current number is fairly certain to sell eighteen thousand to nineteen thousand of the next1 and more probably will show a slight increase4 ,again1 although one appears to get as many costly illustrations in a magazine to-day as in a volume costing ten times the price1 the comparative sales more than readjust the balance4 ,for a quarter of a million1 although a record circulation of a periodical1 is by no means a unique one2 whereas the most popular illustrated book ever issued--and ,trilby could be easily proved to merit that title--is probably not far beyond its hundred thousand4 ,this very book was published in ,harper's ,magazine1 and so obtained an enormous advertisement in one of the most widely circulated shilling monthlies4 ,one doubts if the most popular illustrated volumes published at one or two guineas would show an average sale of two thousand copies at the original price4 ,therefore1 to regard the periodical1 be it quarterly1 monthly1 or weekly--and quite soon the daily paper may be added to the list--as the legitimate field for the illustrator1 is merely to accept the facts of the case4 ,true1 that here and there carefully prepared volumes1 with all the added luxury of fine paper and fine printing1 stand above the magazine of their time in this mechanical production4 ,but things are rapidly changing4 ,one may pick up some ephemeral paper to-day1 to find it has process-blocks of better quality1 and is better printed1 than 'the art book of the season1' be it what it may4 ,the illustrator is the really popular artist of the period--the natural product of the newer conditions4 ,for one painter who makes a living entirely by pictures1 there are dozens who subsist upon illustrating2 while1 against one picture of any reputable sort--framed and sold--it would be impossible to estimate the number of drawings made specially for publication4 ,nor even to-day--when either the demand for illustration is ahead of the supply1 or else many editors artfully prefer the second best1 not forgetting all the feeble stuff of the cheap weeklies--would it be safe to declare that the artistic level is below that of the popular galleries4 ,certainly1 even in the thirties1 there were1 in proportion1 as many masterpieces done for the engraver as those which were carried out in oil or water-colour4 ,waiving the question of the damage wrought by engraver1 or process-reproducer1 the artist--if he be a great man--is no less worthy of respect as an illustrator in a cheap weekly1 than when he chooses to devote himself solely to easel pictures4 ,it is not by way of depreciating paintings that one would exalt illustration1 but merely to recognise the obvious truth that the best work of an artist who understands his medium can never fail to be of surpassing interest1 whether he uses fresco1 tempera1 oil1 or water-colour2 whether he works with brush or needle1 pen or pencil4 ,nobody doubts that most of these products are entitled1 other qualities being present1 to be considered works of art2 but1 until lately1 people have not shown the same respect for an illustration4 ,even when they admired the work1 it was a common form of appreciation to declare it was 'as good as an etching1' or 'a composition worthy of being painted4' ,many writers have endeavoured to restore black-and-white art to its true dignity1 and the labours of ,sir ,f4 ,seymour ,haden1 who awakened a new popular recognition of the claims of the etcher1 and of ,mr4 ,joseph ,pennell1 who fought with sustained vigour for the dignity and importance of illustration1 have helped to inspire outsiders with a new respect4 ,for it is only outsiders who ever thought of making absurd distinctions between high art and minor arts4 ,if the thing1 be it what it may1 is good--as good as it could be--at no age did it fail to win the regard of artists2 even if it had to wait a few generations to charm the purchaser1 or awaken the cupidity of the connoisseur4 ,it is a healthy sign to find that people to-day are interesting themselves in the books of the sixties2 it should make them more eager for original contemporary work1 and foster a dislike to the inevitable photograph from nature reproduced by half-tone1 which one feared would have satisfied their love for black-and-white to the exclusion of all else4 ,if1 after an evening spent in looking over the old magazines which form the subject of the next few chapters1 you can turn to the current weeklies and monthlies1 and feel absolutely certain that we are better than our fathers1 it augurs either a very wisely selected purchase from the crowded bookstall1 which1 at each railway station as the first of the month approaches1 has its hundreds of rival magazines1 or else that it would be wiser to spend still more time over the old periodicals until a certain 'divine dissatisfaction' was aroused towards the average illustrated periodical of to-day4 ,not that we are unable to show as good work perhaps1 man for man1 as they offer4 ,we have no ,sandys1 no ,millais1 no ,boyd ,houghton1 it is true2 they had no ,e4 ,a4 ,abbey1 no ,phil ,may1 no 4441 but it would be a delicate matter to continue a list of living masters here4 ,but if you can find an ,english periodical with as many first-rate pictures as ,once a ,week1 ,the ,cornhill ,magazine1 ,good ,words1 and others contained in the early sixties1 you will be 444 well 444 lucky is perhaps the most polite word4 ,that the cheapness and rapidity of 'reproduction by process' should be directly responsible for the birth of many new illustrated periodicals to-day is clear enough4 ,but it is surprising to find that a movement1 which relatively speaking was almost as fecund1 had begun some years before photography had ousted the engraver4 ,why it sprang into existence is not quite so obvious2 but if we assume1 as facts indicate1 that the system of producing wood-engravings underwent a radical change about this time1 we shall find that again a more ample supply provoked a larger demand4 ,hitherto1 the engraver had only accepted as many blocks as he could engrave himself1 with the help of a few assistants2 but not very long before the date we are considering factories for the supply of wood-engravings had grown up4 ,the heads of these1 practical engravers and in some cases artists of more than average ability1 took all the responsibility for the work intrusted to them1 and maintained a singularly high standard of excellence2 but they did not pretend that they engraved each block themselves4 ,such a system not merely permitted commissions for a large quantity of blocks being accepted1 but greatly increased speed in their production4 ,there can be little doubt that something of the sort took place2 it will suffice to name but two firms1 ,messrs4 ,dalziel and ,messrs4 ,swain1 who were each responsible often enough1 not merely for all the engravings in a book1 but often for all the engravings in a popular magazine4 ,under the old system1 the publisher had thrown upon him the trouble of discovering the right engraver to employ1 and the burden of reconciling the intention of the artist with the product of the engraver4 ,this1 by itself1 would have been enough to make him very cautious before committing himself to the establishment of an illustrated magazine4 ,but if we also remember that1 under such conditions1 almost unlimited time would be required for the production of the engravings1 and that1 to ensure a sufficient quantity being ready for each issue1 a very large number of independent engravers must needs have been employed1 it is clear that the old conditions would not have been equal to the task4 ,when1 however1 the publisher or editor was able to send all his drawings to a reputable firm who could undertake to deliver the engravings by a given time1 one factor of great practical importance had been established4 ,it is not surprising to find that things went even further than this1 and that the new firms of engravers not only undertook the whole of the blocks1 but in several cases supplied the drawings also4 ,without claiming that such a system is the best1 it is but fair to own that to it we are indebted for the masterpieces of the sixties4 ,no doubt the ideal art-editor--a perfectly equipped critic1 with the blank cheque of a millionaire at his back--might have done better2 but to-day there are many who think themselves perfectly equipped critics1 and perhaps some here and there who are backed by millionaires1 yet on neither side of the ,atlantic can we find better work than was produced under the system in vogue in the sixties4 ,but after all1 it is not the system1 then or now1 that is praiseworthy1 but the individual efforts of men whose hearts were in their professions4 ,the more you inquire into the practice of the best engravers then and now1 the more you find that ultimately one person is responsible for the good4 ,in the sixties the engraver saw new possibilities1 and did his utmost to realise them2 full of enthusiasm1 and a master of his craft1 he inspired those who worked with him to experiment and spare no effort4 ,that he did marvels may be conceded2 and to declare that the merely mechanical processes to-day have already distanced his most ambitious efforts in many qualities does not detract from his share4 ,but in this chapter he is regarded less as a craftsman than as a middleman1 an art-editor in effect if not in name2 one who taught the artists with whom he was brought in contact the limits of the material in which their work was to be translated1 and in turn learned from them no little that was of vital importance4 ,above all1 he seems to have kept closely in touch with draughtsmen and engravers alike2 one might believe that every drawing passed through his hands1 and that every block was submitted to him many times during its progress4 ,when you realise the mass of work signed ',dalziels' or ',swain1' it is evident that its high standard of excellence must not be attributed to any system1 but to the personal supervision of the acting members of the firms--men who were1 every one of them1 both draughtsmen and engravers1 who knew not only the effect the artist aimed to secure1 but the best method of handicraft by which to obtain it4 ,if1 after acknowledging this1 one cannot but regret that the photographic transfer of drawings to wood had not come into general use twenty years before it did1 so that the masterpieces of the ,rossetti designs to ,tennyson's ,poems and a hundred others had not been cut to pieces by the engraver2 yet at the same time we must remember that1 but for the enterprise of the engraver1 the drawings themselves would in all probability never have been called into existence in many cases4 ,this is especially true of the famous volumes which ,messrs4 ,dalziel issued under the imprint of various publishers1 who were really merely agents for their distribution4 ,the ,penny ,magazine in #ahcb1 and other of ,charles ,knight's publications1 ,sharp's ,magazine1 ,the ,people's ,journal1 ,howitt's ,journal of ,literature1 ,the ,illustrated ,family ,journal1 ,the ,mirror1 ,the ,parterre1 ,the ,casket1 ,the ,olio1 ,the ,saturday ,magazine1 ,pinnock's ,guide to ,knowledge1 ,punch1 ,the ,illustrated ,london ,news1 had led the way for pictorial weekly papers1 even as the old ,annuals and the various novels by ,ainsworth1 ,dickens1 and ,thackeray had prepared the way for magazines2 but the artistic movement of the 'sixties1' so far as its periodicals are concerned1 need be traced back no further than ,once a ,week4 ,perhaps1 however1 it would be unfair to forget the influence of ,the ,art ,journal 7at first called ,the ,art ,union71 which1 started in #ahea1 brought fine art to the homes of the great ,british public through the medium of wood-engravings in a way not attempted previously2 and certainly we must not ignore ,john ,cassell1 who1 on the demise of ,howitt's ,journal and ,the ,people's ,journal in #ahej1 brought out an illustrated chronicle of the ,great ,exhibition1 which was afterwards merged in a ,magazine of ,art4 ,as ,the ,strand ,magazine--the first monthly periodical to exploit freely the ,kodak and the half-tone block--started a whole school of imitators1 so ,once a ,week1 depending chiefly on drawings by the best men of the day1 engraved by the foremost engravers1 was followed quickly by the ,cornhill ,magazine1 ,good ,words1 and the rest4 ,many of these were short-lived2 nor1 looking at them impartially to-day1 are we quite sure that the survivors were always the fittest4 ,certainly they were not always the best4 ,but the number of new ventures that saw the light about this time can scarce be named here4 ,then1 as now1 a vast army of quite second-rate draughtsmen were available1 and a number of periodicals1 which it were gross flattery to call second-rate1 sprang up to utilise their talents4 ,besides these1 many weekly and monthly publications1 ostensibly devoted to catering for the taste of the masses1 gained large audiences and employed talented artists1 but demand no more serious consideration as art1 than do the 'snippet' weeklies of to-day as literature4 ,but some of these popular serials--such as ,the ,band of ,hope1 ,the ,british ,workman1 ,the ,london ,journal1 ,the ,london ,reader1 ,bow ,bells1 ,every ,week1 and the rest--are not1 relatively speaking1 worse than more pretentious publications4 ,it is weary work to estimate the place of the second and third bests1 and whatever interest the subject possesses would be exhausted quickly if we tried to catalogue or describe the less important items4 ,yet1 to be quite just1 several of these1 notably the cheap publications of ,messrs4 ,cassell1 ,petter1 and ,galpin1 ,messrs4 ,s4 ,w4 ,partridge and ,co41 and many others1 employed artists by no means second-rate and gave better artistic value for their money than many of their successors do at present4 ,it is well to face the plain fact1 and own that at no time has the supply of really creative artists equalled the popular demand4 ,not all the painters of any period are even passable1 nor all the illustrators4 ,much that is produced for the moment fulfils its purpose admirably enough1 although it dies as soon as it is born4 ,nature shows us the prodigal fecundity of generation compared with the few that ripen to maturity4 ,the danger lies rather in appreciating too much1 whether of 'the sixties' or 'the nineties'2 yet1 if one is stoical enough to praise only the best1 it demands not merely great critical acumen1 but no little hardness of heart4 ,the intention always pleads to be recognised4 ,we know that accidents1 quite beyond the artist's power to prevent1 may have marred his work4 ,each man1 feeling his own impotence to express his ideas lucidly1 must needs be lenient to those who also stammer and fail to interpret their imaginings clearly and with irresistible power4 ,yet1 although the men of the sixties survive in greatly reduced numbers and one might speak plainly of much of its trivial commonplace without hurting anybody's feelings1 there is no need to drag the rubbish to light4 ,,chapter ,,iii3 ,,some ,,illustrated ,,magazines ,,of ,,the ,,sixties4 ,i4 ',,once ,a ,,week' ,once a ,week4--,on the second of ,july #ahei appeared the first number of ,once a ,week1 'an illustrated miscellany of ,literature1 ,art1 ,science1 and ,popular ,information4' ,despite the choice of an extraordinary time of year1 as we should now consider it1 to float a new venture1 the result proved fortunate4 ,not merely does the first series of this notable magazine deserve recognition as the pioneer of its class2 its superiority is no less provable than its priority4 ,the earliest attempt to provide a magazine with original illustrations by the chief artists of its time was not merely a bold and well-considered experiment but1 as the thirteen volumes of its first series show1 an instant and admirably sustained triumph4 ,no other thirteen volumes of an ,english magazine1 at any period1 contain so much first-class work4 ,the invention and knowledge1 the mastery of the methods employed1 and the superb achievements of some of its contributors entitle it to be ranked as one of the few artistic enterprises of which ,england may be justly proud4 ,when the connection of ,dickens with his old publishers was severed1 and ,all the ,year ,round issued from its own office1 ,messrs4 ,bradbury and ,evans projected a rival paper that was in no sense an imitation of the former4 ,the reasons for its success lie on the surface4 ,started by the proprietors of ,punch1 with the co-operation of an artistic staff that has been singularly fortunate in enlisting always the services of the best men of their day1 it is obvious that few periodicals have ever been launched under happier auspices4 ,its aim was obviously to do for fiction1 light literature1 and belles-lettres1 what ,punch had accomplished so admirably for satire and caricature4 ,at that time1 with no rivals worth consideration1 a fixed intention to obtain for a new magazine the active co-operation of the best men of all schools was within the bounds of possibility4 ,to-day a millionaire with a blank cheque-book could not even hope to succeed in such a project4 ,he would find many first-rate artists1 whom no amount of money would attract1 and others with connections that would be imperilled if they contributed to a rival enterprise4 ,there are many who prefer the safety of an established periodical to the risk which must needs attend any 'up-to-date' venture4 ,now ,once a ,week was not merely 'up-to-date' in its period1 but far ahead of the popular taste4 ,as we cannot rival it to-day in its own line1 even the most ardent defender of the present at the expense of the past must own that the improvement in process-engraving and the increased truth of facsimile reproductions it offers have not inspired draughtsmen to higher efforts4 ,why so excellent a magazine is not flourishing to-day is a mystery4 ,it would seem as if the public1 faithful as they are to non-illustrated periodicals1 are fickle where pictures are concerned4 ,but the memory of the third series of ,once a ,week relieves the public of the responsibility2 changes in the direction and aim of the periodical were made1 and all for the worse2 so that it lost its high position and no more interested the artist4 ,punch1 its sponsor1 seems to have the secret of eternal youth1 possibly because its original programme is still consistently maintained4 ,in another feature it resembled ,punch more than any previous periodical4 ,in ,the ,london ,charivari many of the pictures have always been inserted quite independently of the text4 ,some have a title1 and some a brief scrap of dialogue to explain their story2 but the picture is not there to elucidate the anecdote1 so much as the title1 or fragment of conversation1 helps to elucidate the picture4 ,unless an engraving be from a painting1 or a topographical view1 the rule in ,english magazines then1 as now1 is that it must illustrate the text4 ,this is not the place to record an appreciation of the thorough and consistent way in which the older illustrators set about the work of reiterating the obvious incident1 depicting for all eyes to see what the author had suggested in his text already1 for it is evident that a design untrammelled by any fixed programme ought to allow the artist more play for his fancy4 ,nevertheless1 the less frequent illustrations to its serial fiction are well up to the level of those practically independent of the text4 ,in ,once a ,week there are dozens of pictures which are evidently purely the invention of the draughtsman4 ,that a modest little poem1 written to order usually1 satisfies the conventions of established precedent1 need not be taken as evidence that traverses the argument4 ,once a ,week ranked its illustrators as important as its authors1 which is clearly an ideal method for an illustrated periodical to observe4 ,to write up to pictures has often been attempted2 were not ,the ,pickwick ,papers begun in this way8 ,but the author soon reversed the situation1 and once more put the artist in a subordinate place4 ,it is curious to observe that readers of light literature had been satisfied previously with a very conventional type of illustration4 ,for1 granting all sorts of qualities to those pictures by ,cruikshank1 ',phiz1' and ,thackeray1 which illustrated the ,dickens1 ,ainsworth1 ,lever1 and ,thackeray novels1 you can hardly refer the source of their inspiration to nature1 however remotely4 ,their purpose seems to have been caricature rather than character-drawing1 sentimentality in place of sentiment1 melodrama in lieu of mystery1 broad farce instead of humour4 ,these aims were accomplished in masterly fashion1 perhaps2 but is there a single illustration by ,cruikshank1 ',phiz1' ,thackeray1 or even ,john ,leech1 which tempts us to linger and return again and again purely for its art8 ,its 'drawing' is often slipshod1 and never infused by the perception of physical beauty that the ,greeks embodied as their ideal1 that ideal which the illustrators of ,once a ,week1 especially ,walker1 revived soon after this date4 ,nor are they inspired by the symbolists' regard for nature1 which attracted the 'primitives' of the ,middle ,ages1 and their legitimate followers the pre-,raphaelites4 ,indeed1 as you study the so-called 'immortal' designs which illustrate the early ,victorian novels1 you feel that if many of the artists were once considered to be as great as the authors whose ideas they interpreted1 time has wreaked revenge at last4 ,if a boy happens to read for the first time ,thackeray's ,vanity ,fair with its original illustrations1 the humour and pathos of the masterpiece lose half their power when the ridiculously feeble drawings confront him throughout the book4 ,this is not the case with ,millais' illustrations to ,trollope1 or those by ,fred ,walker to ,thackeray4 ,the costume may appear grotesque1 but the men and women are vital1 and as real in the picture as in the literature4 ,lacking the virility of ,hogarth1 or the coarse animal vigour of ,rowlandson1 these caricaturists kept one eye on the fashion-book and one on the grotesque4 ,it was 'cumeelfo' to depict the ,english maiden a colourless vapid nonentity1 to make the villain look villainous1 and the benevolent middle-aged person imbecile4 ,accidental deformities and vulgar personal defects were deemed worthy themes for laughter4 ,the fat boy in ,pickwick1 the fat ,joe ,sedley in ,vanity ,fair1 the ,marchioness and ,dick ,swiveller1 the ,quilps' ,tea-,party1 and the rest1 all belong to the order of humour that survives to-day in the 'knockabout artists1' or the 'sketch' performances at second-rate music-halls4 ,even the much-belauded ,fagin in the ,condemned ,cell appears a trite and ineffective bit of low melodrama to-day4 ,we know the oft-repeated story of the artist's despondency1 his failure to realise an attitude to express ,fagin's despair1 and how as he caught sight of his own face in the glass he saw that he himself1 a draughtsman troubled by a subject1 was the very model for one about to be hanged4 ,all the personality of anecdote and the sentimental log-rolling which gathered round the pictures1 that by chance were associated with a series of masterpieces in fiction1 no longer fascinate us4 ,we recognise the power of the writers1 but wish in our hearts that they had never been 'illustrated1' or if so1 that they had enjoyed the good fortune which belongs to the novelists of the sixties4 ,but to refuse to endorse the verdict of earlier critics does not imply that there was no merit in these designs1 but merely that their illustrators must be classed for the most part 7,leech least of all7 with the exaggerators--those who aimed at the grotesque--with ,gilray or ,baxter1 the creator of ,ally ,sloper1 and not with true satirists like ,hogarth or ,charles ,keene1 who worked in ways that are pre-eminently masterly1 even if you disregard the humorous element in their designs4 ,without forcing the theory too far1 it may be admitted that the idea of ,once a ,week owes more to these serial novels than to any previous enterprise4 ,be that as it may1 the plan of the magazine1 as we find in a postscript 7to vol4 i471 was at once 'ratified by popular acceptance4' ,further1 its publishers admit that its circulation was adequate and its commercial success established1 after only thirty-six numbers had appeared4 ,it is no new thing for the early numbers of magazines and papers to contain glowing accounts of their phenomenal circulation2 but1 in this case1 there can be no doubt that the self-congratulation is both well deserved and genuine4 ,to ,once a ,week may be accorded the merit of initiating a new type of periodical which has survived with trifling changes until to-day4 ,its recognition of 'fiction' and 'pictures1' as the chief items in its programme1 has been followed by a hundred others2 but the editing1 which made it readable as well as artistic1 is a secret that many of its imitators failed to understand4 ,although ,a ,good ,fight 7afterwards rewritten and entitled ,the ,cloister and the ,hearth7 is the only novel within its pages that has since assumed classic rank1 yet the average of its art--good as it was--is not as far above the standard of its literature1 as the illustrations of its predecessors fell below the text they professed to adorn4 ,in sketching the life-history of other illustrated magazines it seemed best to follow a chronological order1 because the progress of the art of illustration is reflected more or less faithfully in the advance and retrogression they show4 ,but the thirteen volumes which complete the first series of ,once a ,week may be considered better in a different way4 ,for to-day it is prized almost entirely for its pictures1 and they were contributed for the most part by the same artists year after year4 ,while in other periodicals you find1 with every new volume1 a fresh relay of artists1 ,once a ,week1 during its palmy days1 was supported by the same brilliant group of draughtsmen1 who admitted very few recruits1 and only those whose great early promise was followed almost directly by ample fulfilment4 ,the very first illustration is a vignette by ,john ,leech to a rhymed programme of the magazine by ,shirley ,brooks4 ,but ,leech1 who died in #ahfd1 cannot be regarded as a typical illustrator of 'the sixties'--not so much because his work extended only a few years into that decade1 as that he belonged emphatically to the earlier school1 and represented all that is not characteristic of the period with which this book is concerned4 ,it is unnecessary to belittle his art for the sake of glorifying those who succeeded him in popularity4 ,that he obtained a strong hold upon ,english taste1 lettered and unlettered1 is undeniable4 ,it has become part and parcel of that ,english life1 especially of the insular middle-class1 whose ideal permitted it to regard the exhibition building of #ahea not as a big conservatory1 but as a new and better ,parthenon1 and to believe honestly enough that the millennium of universal peace with art1 no less than morals1 perfected to the 'nth' degree 7on purely ,british lines71 was dawning upon humanity4 ,that the efforts of #ahea made much possible to-day which else had been impossible may be granted4 ,the grace and truth of ,john ,leech's designs may be recognised despite their technical insufficiency1 but at the same time we may own that1 in common with ,cruikshank and the rest1 he has received infinitely more appreciation than his artistic achievement merited1 and leave his share unconsidered here1 although no doubt it was a big commercial factor in the success4 ,to vol4 i4 of ,once a ,week he contributed no less than thirty-two designs1 to vol4 ii4 forty-six1 to vol4 iii4 seven1 to vol4 iv4 one1 and to vol4 v4 four4 ,john ,tenniel1 although he began to work much earlier1 and is still an active contemporary1 may be considered as belonging especially to the sixties1 wherein he represents the survival of an academic type in sharply accentuated distinction to the pre-,raphaelism of one group or to the romantic naturalism of a still larger section4 ,on page #d of vol4 i4 we find his first drawing1 a vignette1 and page #e a design1 ,audun and the ,white ,bear1 no less typically 'a ,tenniel' in every particular than is the current cartoon in ,punch4 ,those on pages #ba1 #cj1 #fj1 #ij1 #aja1 #ajc1 and #agj are all relatively unimportant4 ,the ,king of ,thule 7p4 #bej7 is an illustration to ,sir ,theodore ,martin's familiar translation of ,goethe's poems4 ,others are on pp4 #bhe1 #dce1 #ddf4 ,to vol4 ii4 he is a less frequent contributor4 ,the designs1 pp4 #ci1 #ih1 #ii1 and #ajc call for no comment4 ,the one on p4 #ddd 7not p4 #djd as the index has it71 to ,tom ,taylor's ballad ,nomno1 is reprinted in ,songs and ,ballads of ,brittany 7,macmillan1 #ahfe74 ,in vol4 iii4 there is one 7p4 #eb7 of small value4 ,on pp4 #ecc1 #efa1 #ehi1 #fag1 #fde1 #fgc1 and #gja are pictures to ,shirley ,brooks's ,the ,silver ,cord1 showing the artist in his less familiar aspect as an illustrator of fiction4 ,the one on p4 #ehi is irresistibly like a ',wonderland' picture1 while that on p4 #bbe 7vol4 iv47 suggests a ,punch cartoon2 but1 on the whole1 they are curiously free from undue mannerism in the types they depict4 ,in vol4 iv4 are more illustrations to ,the ,silver ,cord 7pp4 #a1 #bi1 #eg1 #he1 #aac1 #ada1 #afi1 #aig1 #bbe1 #bec1 #bha1 #cji1 #ccg1 #cfe1 #cic1 #dba1 #ddi1 #dgg1 #eje1 #ecc1 #efa1 #ehi1 #fag1 #fde1 #fgc1 and #gja71 and illustrations to ,owen ,meredith's poem1 ,fair ,rosamund 7pp4 #bid1 #bie74 ,in volume v4 ,the ,silver ,cord is continued with ten more designs 7pp4 #a1 #bi1 #eg1 #he1 #aac1 #ada1 #afi1 #aig1 #bbe1 #bec71 and there is one to ,mark ,bozzari 7p4 #fei71 translated from ,mller by ,sir ,theodore ,martin4 ,in volume vi4 ,tenniel appears but four times3 ,at ,crutchley ,prior 7p4 #bfg71 ,the ,fairies 7p4 #cgi71 a very delicate fancy1 ,prince ,lulu 7p4 #dij71 and ,made to ,order 7p4 #ege74 ,from the seventh and eighth volumes he is absent1 and reappears in the ninth with only one drawing1 ,clyt 7p4 #aed71 and in the tenth 7,dec4 #ahfc-;,june #ahfd7 with one1 ,bacchus and the ,water ,thieves 7p4 #feh74 ,nor does he appear again in this magazine until #ahfg1 with ,lord ,aythan1 the frontispiece to vol4 iii4 of the ,new ,series4 ,sir ,john ,tenniel1 however1 more than any other of the ,punch staff1 seems never thoroughly at home outside its pages4 ,the very idea of a ,tenniel drawing has become a synonym for a political cartoon2 so that now you cannot avoid feeling that all his illustrations to poetry1 fiction1 and fairy-tale must have some satirical motive underlying their apparent purpose4 ,illustration3 ,j4 ,e4 ,,millais ',,once ,a ,,week' ,,vol4 ,i4 p4 #bda ,,grandmother',s ,,apology ,illustration3 ,j4 ,e4 ,,millais ',,once ,a ,,week' ,,vol4 ,i4 p4 #caf ,,the ,,plague ,,of ,,elliant ,it is difficult to record ,sir ,john ,everett ,millais' contributions to this magazine with level unbiassed comments4 ,notwithstanding the palpable loss they suffered by translation under the hands of even the most skilful of his engravers1 the impressions belong to a higher plane than is reached by their neighbours save in a very few instances4 ,the ,millais wood-engravings deserve a deliberately ordered monograph as fully as do the etchings by ,rembrandt and ,whistler1 or ,hokousa's prints4 ,it is true that not quite all his many illustrations to contemporary literature are as good as the best works of the great artist just named2 but if you search through the portfolios of the past for that purpose1 you will find that even the old masters were not always adding to a cycle of masterpieces4 ,the astounding fact remains that ,sir ,john ,millais1 dealing with the hair-net and the ,dundreary whiskers1 the crinoline and peg-top trousers1 imparted such dignity to his men and women that even now they carry their grotesque costumes with distinction1 and fail to appear old-fashioned1 but at most as masqueraders in fancy dress4 ,for in ,millais' work you are face to face with actual human beings1 superbly drawn and fulfilling all artistic requirements4 ,they possess the immense individuality of a ,velasquez portrait1 which1 as a human being1 appeals to you no less surely1 than its handling arouses your sthetic appreciation4 ,at this period it seems as if the artist was overflowing with power and mastery--everything he touched sprang into life4 ,whether he owed much or little to his predecessors is unimportant--take away all1 and still a giant remains4 ,it is so easy to accept the early drawings of ,millais as perfect of their kind1 beyond praise or blame1 and yet to fail to realise that they possess the true vitality of those few classics which are for all time4 ,the term monumental must not be applied to them1 for it suggests something dead in fact1 although living in sentiment and admired by reason of conventional precedent4 ,the ,millais drawings have still the power to excite an artist as keenly as a great ,rembrandt etching that he sees for the first time1 or an early ,whistler that turns up unexpectedly in a loan collection1 or an unknown ,utamaro colour print4 ,the mood they provoke is almost deprived of critical analysis by the overwhelming sense of fulfillment which is forced on your notice4 ,in place of gratified appreciation you feel appalled that one man should have done over and over again1 so easily and with such certainty1 what dozens of his fellows1 accomplished and masterly in their way1 tried with by no means uniform success4 ,if every canvas by the artist were lost1 he might still be proved to belong to the great masters from his illustrations alone2 even if these were available only through the medium of wood-engraving4 ,the first volume of ,once a ,week contains1 as ,millais' first contribution1 ,magenta 7p4 #aj71 a study of a girl who has just read a paper with news of the great battle that gave its name to the terrible colour which typifies the period4 ,it is badly printed in the copy at my side1 and1 although engraved by ,dalziels1 is not an instance of their best work4 ,in ,grandmother's ,apology 7p4 #da7 we have a most delightful illustration to ,tennyson1 reproduced in his collected volume1 but not elsewhere4 ,on the ,water 7p4 #gj7 and ,la ,fille bien garde 7p4 #cjf7 may be passed without comment4 ,but ,the ,plague of ,elliant 7p4 #caf71 a powerful drawing of a woman dragging a cart wherein are the bodies of her nine dead children1 has been selected1 more than once1 as a typical example of the illustrator at his best4 ,maude ,clare 7p4 #chb71 ,a ,lost ,love 7p4 #dhb71 and ,st4 ,bartholomew 7p4 #ead71 complete the

#fhg71 a seventeenth-century story4 ,the illustrators of to-day should study these and other pictures where the artist was hampered by the story1 and imitate his loyal purpose to expound and amplify the text1 accomplishing it the while with most admirably dramatic composition and strong character-drawing4 ,in the remaining volume of the first series there are no other examples by ,millais2 nor1

,it must not be forgotten that high prices are often responsible for the desire1 or rather the necessity1 of using second-rate work4 ,when an artist attains a position that monopolises all his working hours1 it is obvious that he cannot afford to accept even the highest current rate of payment for magazine illustration2 nor1 on the other hand1 can an editor1 who conducts what is after all a commercial enterprise1 afford to pay enormous sums for its illustrations4 ,for later drawings this artist was paid at least five times as much as for his earlier efforts1 and possibly in some cases ten or twelve times as much4 ,charles ,keene1 the great illustrator so little appreciated by his contemporaries1 whose fame is still growing daily1 was a frequent contributor to ,once a ,week for many years4 ,starting with volume i4 he depicted1 in quasi-medival fashion1 ,charles ,reade's famous ,cloister and the ,hearth1 then called1 in its first and shorter form1 ,a ,good ,fight 7pp4 #aa1 #ca1

of the first series4 ,fred ,walker is often supposed to have made his first appearance as an illustrator in ,once a ,week1 vol4 ii4 with ,peasant ,proprietorship 7p4 #afe72 and1 although an exception of earlier date may be discovered1 it is only in an obscure paper 7of which the ,british ,museum apparently has no copy7 barely a month before4 ,for practical purposes1 therefore1 ,once a ,week may be credited with being the first-established periodical to commission a young artist whose influence upon the art of the sixties was great4 ,this drawing was quickly followed by ,god help our ,men at

now4 ,but those on pp4 #afe1 #aih1 #ccj1 and #ech would pass unnoticed in any magazine of the period1 except that the full signature ',f4 ,walker' arouses one's curiosity1 and almost suggests1 like

work of ,m4 ,j4 ,lawless placed on the same level as that of ,millais or ,sandys2 but1 while few of the men of the period have less deservedly dropped out of notice1 one feels that to repeat such an estimate were to do an injustice to a very charming draughtsman4 ,for the sake of his future reputation it is wiser not to attempt to rank him with the greatest2 but in the second order he may be fitly placed4 ,for fancy and feeling1 no less than for his loyal adherence to the ,drer line1 at a time it found little favour1 ,lawless deserves to be more studied by the younger artists of to-day4 ,a great number of decorative designers are too fond of repeating certain mannerisms1 and among others1 ,lawless in ,england and ,howard ,pyle in ,america1 two men inspired by similar purpose1 should receive more attention than they have done4 ,once a ,week contains the largest number of his drawings4 ,in vol4 i41 to ,sentiment from the ,shambles1 there are three illustrations attributed to him4

interest is to let it off cheaply4 ,in the volume for #ahgj the names of artists are omitted1 and if we follow the editor's example no injustice will be done1 despite a few clever drawings by ,r4 ,macbeth2 the work1 not merely in date but in spirit1 is of the new decade1 and as it is exceptionally poor at that for the most part1 it no longer belongs to the subject with which this volume is concerned4 ,,chapter ,,iv3 ,,some ,,illustrated ,,magazines ,,of ,,the ,,sixties3 ,,ii4 ',,the ,,cornhill1' ',,good ,,words1' ,,and ,,london ,,society' ,,the ,,cornhill ,,magazine1 which began in #ahfj with ,thackeray as editor1 showed from the very first that the aim of the ,magazine was to keep the level of its pictures equal to that of its text4 ,in looking through the forty-seven volumes of the first series it is gratifying to find that this purpose was never forgotten4 ,many a rival magazine has been started since under the happiest auspices1 with the most loyal intention to have the best and only the very best illustrations2 but in a few years the effort has been too exacting1 and the average commonplace of its padding in prose and verse has been equalled by the dull mediocrity of its pictures4 ,only those who have experienced the difficulty which faces an editor firmly resolved to exclude the commonplace of any sort can realise fully what a strain a successful effort1 lasting over twenty years1 must needs impose on the responsible conductors4 ,thackeray1 as we know1 soon found the labour too great2 but his successors kept nobly to their purpose1 and few magazines show more honourable fulfilment of their projected scheme than the classic ,cornhill1 which has introduced so many masterpieces in art and literature to the public4 ,curiously enough1 the weakest illustrations under the rgime he inaugurated so happily are those by the editor himself4 ,thackeray's designs to ,lovel the ,widower1 and the one example by ,g4 ,a4 ,sala in the first volume1 link the new periodical with the past4 ,they belong to the caricature type of illustrations which had been accepted by the ,british public as character-drawing4 ,like the ',phiz' plates for ,dickens's works1 and many of ,john ,leech's sketches1 they have undoubtedly merit of a sort1 but not if you consider them as pictures pure and simple4 ,later experience shows that an illustration to a story1 which catches the spirit of the writer1 and realises in another medium the characters he had imagined1 may also be fine art--art as self-sufficient and as wholly beautiful as that of a ,drer wood-cut or a ,rembrandt etching4 ,the masterpieces of modern illustrations to fiction which the ,cornhill ,magazine contains would by themselves suffice to prove this argument up to the hilt4 ,the collection of drawings chiefly by ,millais1 ,walker1 and ,leighton1 in a volume of carefully-printed impressions1 from one hundred of the original wood-blocks1 issued under the title of the ,cornhill ,gallery in #ahfd1 may in time to come be prized as highly as ,bible ,wood-cuts1 ,the ,dance of ,death1 or the ,liber ,studiorum4 ,it is true that the pictures aimed only to fulfil their actual purpose1 and it may be argued1 reasonably enough1 that a picture which illustrates a story is for that very reason on a different level to a self-contained work--inspired solely by the delight of the artist in his subject4 ,but1 in their own way1 they touched high-water mark4 ,upon one of ,drer's blocks he is said to have written in ,latin1 ',better work did no man than this1' and on many a ,cornhill design the same legend might have been truly inscribed4 ,it is true that most of the etchings and wood-cuts beside which they deserve to be ranked are untrammelled autograph work throughout1 and that here the drawing done direct on the block was paraphrased by an engraver4 ,not always spoilt1 sometimes 7as even the draughtsman himself admitted71 improved in part1 but still with the impress of another personality added4 ,and this argument might be extended to prove that an engraving by another craftsman can never be so interesting as an etching from a master's hand1 or a block cut by its designer4 ,yet1 without forcing such comparison1 we may claim that the engravings in ,once a ,week1 ,good ,words1 and the ,cornhill enriched ,english art to lasting purpose4 ,although sets of the ,cornhill ,magazine are not difficult to procure1 and a large number of people prize them in their libraries1 yet by way of bringing together those scattered facts of interest which pertain to our subject1 it may be as well to indicate briefly the principal contents of the first thirty-two volumes which cover the period to which this book is limited4 ,in #ahfj we find six full-page illustrations to ,lovel the ,widower1 three to ,the ,four ,georges1 two to ,roundabout ,papers1 all by ,thackeray1 to whom they are all formally attributed in the ,cornhill ,gallery4 ,possibly one1 entirely unlike the style of the rest to ,the ,four ,georges1 is from another hand--the fact that it is not included in the reprint seems to confirm this suspicion4 ,millais' first contributions included ,unspoken ,dialogue1 ',last ,words1' and the beginning of the illustrations to ,framley ,parsonage1 which he equalled often but never excelled4 ,f4 ,sandys is represented by ,legends of the ,portent 7i4 p4 #fag71 and ,frederick ,leighton by ,the ,great ,god ,pan 7ii4 p4 #hd7 to ,mrs4 ,browning's poem4 ,ariadne in ,naxos1 an outline-drawing in a decorative frame1 is unsigned1 and so strangely unlike the style of the magazine that it provokes curiosity4 ,in #ahfa ,thackeray started illustrating his serial story1 ,the ,adventures of ,philip1 but1 after four full-page drawings1 relinquished the task to ,fred ,walker1 who at first re-drew ,thackeray's compositions1 but afterwards signed his work with the familiar ',f4 ,w4' ,we may safely attribute eight solely to him4 ,millais continued his series of drawings to illustrate ,framley ,parsonage1 and has besides one other1 entitled ,temptation 7iii4 p4 #bbi74 ,a series of studies of character1 ,the ,excursion ,train1 by ,c4 ,h4 ,bennett1 is a notable exception to the practice of the magazine1 which printed all its 'pictures' on plate-paper apart from the text1 the blocks in the text 7always excepting the initial letters7 being elsewhere limited to diagrams elucidating the matter and obviously removed from consideration as pictures4 ,this year ,doyle began those outline pictures of ,society which attained so wide a popularity4 ,illustration3

concludes his ,philip series with eight full-page drawings1 including the superb ,philip in ,church1 of which he made a version in water-colours that still ranks among his most notable work4 ,the first two illustrations to ,miss ,thackeray's ,story of ,elizabeth are also from his hand4 ,millais is represented by ,iren1 a kneeling figure 7v4 p4 #dgh71 and by the powerfully conceived ,bishop and the ,knight 7vi4 p4 #ajj71 and the first four illustrations to ,trollope's ,small ,house at ,allington4 ,richard ,doyle continues the series of ,pictures of ,english ,society2 but now that their actuality no longer impresses1 we fail to discover the special charm which endeared them to contemporaries4 ,f4 ,sandys is represented by ,manoli 7vi4 p4 #cdf71 the second of his three contributions1 which deepens the regret that work by this fine artist appeared so seldom in this magazine4 ,but the most notable feature this year is found in the drawings contributed by ,frederick ,leighton1 then not even an ,associate of the ,royal ,academy1 which illustrate ,george ,eliot's ,romola4 ,with these the ,cornhill departed from its ordinary custom1 and gave two full-page illustrations to each section of the serial month by month4 ,consequently in the volumes in #ahfb and #ahfc the usual two-dozen plates are considerably augmented4 ,in #ahfc twelve more of the ,romola series complete ,leighton's contributions to the magazine4 ,millais has twelve more to ,the ,small ,house at ,allington1 ,walker is represented by one drawing1 ,maladetta1 another to ,mrs4 ,archie1 two to ,out of the ,world1 and one more to ,the ,story of ,elizabeth4 ,du ,maurier1 destined to occupy the most prominent position in later volumes1 appears for the first time with ,the ,cilician ,pirates1 ,sibyl's ,disappointment1 ,the ,night before the ,morrow1 and ,cousin ,phillis4 ,possibly a drawing entitled ',the ,first ,meeting' to a story1 ,the 444 in her ,closet1 is from his hand2 but the style is not clearly evident1 nor is it included in the ,cornhill ,gallery which1 published in the next year1 drew its illustrations from the few volumes already noticed1 with the addition of five others from the early numbers of #ahfd4 ,another drawing1 signed ,a4 ,h41 to ,margaret ,denzil1 is by ,arthur ,hughes4 ,in #ahfd two other illustrations complete ,the ,small ,house at ,allington1 and ,millais has also two others for ,madame de ,monferrat4 ,sir ,noel ,paton appears for the only time with a fine composition1 ,ulysses 7,,ix4 p4 #ff74 ,margaret ,denzil has its three illustrations signed ,r4 ,b41 probably the initials of ,robert ,barnes1 who did much work in later volumes4 ,charles ,keene1 a very infrequent contributor1 illustrated ,brother ,jacob1 a little-known story by ,george ,eliot4 ,du ,maurier supplies the first four illustrations to ,mrs4 ,gaskell's unfinished ,wives and ,daughters1 and ,fred ,walker contributes five to the other serial1 also interrupted by its author's death1 the delightful ,denis ,duval4 ,here we see the artist employed on costume-work1 and hampered somewhat by historical details1 yet infusing into his designs the charm which characterises his idyllic work4 ,g4 ,j4 ,pinwell is represented by ,the ,lovers of ,ballyvookan4 ,g4 ,h4 ,thomas starts ,wilkie ,collins's ,armadale with two pictures that do not accord with the rest of the ,cornhill work1 but

after ,laurence4 ,in #ahfe the ,armadale illustrations take up twelve full pages1 and ,du ,maurier supplies the remaining twelve stories to ,wives and ,daughters4 ,in #ahff six ,armadale and one

,hospital ,outlines1 as the poems were called when they appeared in ,july #ahge4 ,from this date to the last number of the shilling series1 ,june #ahhc1 the artists are limited to ,small and ,du ,maurier for the most part1 and as this record has already exceeded its limits1 no more need be said1 except that until the last1 the high standard of technical excellence was never abandoned4 ,although the rare mastery of ,millais and the charm of ,walker were hardly approached by their successors1 yet the magazine was always representative of the best work of those of its contemporaries who devoted themselves to black and white1 and not infrequently1 as this notice shows1 attracted men who have made few1 if any other1 attempts to draw for publication4 ,it is curious to find that1 notwithstanding the evident importance it attached to its pictorial department1 no artist's name is ever mentioned in the index or elsewhere4 ,in a graceful and discriminative essay ',s4 ,c4' speaks feelingly and appreciatively of ,fred ,walker just after his death2 but that seems to be the only time when the anonymity imposed on the artists was divulged in the magazine itself4 ,it is but fair to add that the literary contents were never signed1 or attributed in the index1 except that a few articles bear the now familiar initials1 ',l4 ,s4'1 ',w4 ,e4 ,h4'1 ',r4 ,l4 ,s4'1 ',g4 ,a4'1 and others4 ,,good ,,words ,this popular1 semi-religious1 sixpenny magazine1 established in #ahfj1 achieved quickly a circulation that was record-breaking in its time4 ,edited by ,dr4 ,norman ,macleod1 it was printed by ,thomas ,constable1 and published 7at first7 in ,edinburgh by ,alexander ,strahan and ,co4 ,although1 viewed in the light of its later issues1 one cannot help feeling disappointed with the first volume1 yet even there the pictures are distinctly interesting as a forecast1 even if they do not call for any detailed notice by reason of their intrinsic merit4 ,they rarely exceed a half page in size1 and were engraved none too well by various craftsmen4 ,indeed1 judging from the names of the artists1 then as afterwards1 given fully in the index of illustrations1 it might not be unfair to blame the engravers still more strongly4 ,the very fact that the illustrations are duly ascribed in a separate list is proof that1 from the first1 the editor recognised their importance4 ,such honourable recognition of the personality of an illustrator is by no means the rule1 even in periodicals that have equal right to be proud of their collaborators4 ,where the artists' names are recorded it is rare to find them acknowledged so fully and thoroughly as in ,good ,words4 ,in other magazines they are usually referred to under the title of the article they illustrate and nowhere else2 or their name is printed 7as in ,once a ,week7 with a bare list of numerals showing the pages containing their pictures2 but in ,good ,words the subject1 titles1 and artists' names have always been accorded a special index4 ,illustration3 ,g4 ,,du ,,maurier ',,good ,,words' #ahfa1 p4 #egi ,a ,,time ,,to ,,dance ,in the first volume1 for #ahfj1 ,w4 ,q4 ,orchardson--not then even an ,associate of the ,royal ,academy--supplies nine drawings1 engraved by ,f4 ,borders4 ,admirable in their own way1 one cannot but feel that the signature leads one to expect something much more interesting2 and1 knowing the quality of ,mr4 ,orchardson's later work1 it is impossible to avoid throwing the blame on the engraver4 ,keeley ,halswelle contributes six2 in these you find 7badly drawn or spoilt by the engraver7 those water-lilies in blossom1 which in after years became a mannerism in his landscape foregrounds4 ,j4 ,w4 ,m',whirter has four--one a group of ,autumn ,flowers 7p4 #ffd71 cut by ,r4 ,paterson1 that deserves especial notice as a much more elaborate piece of engraving than any other in the volume4 ,erskine ,nicol supplies two genre pieces1 the full-page1 ,mary ,macdonell and her friends 7p4 #baf71 being1 most probably1 a thoroughly good sketch1 but here again the translator has produced hard scratchy lines that fail to suggest the freer play of pencil or pen1 whichever it was that produced the original4 ,others by ',j4 ,b41' ,j4 ,o4 ,brown1 ,c4 ,a4 ,doyle1 ,clarence ,dobell1 ,jas4 ,drummond1 ,clark ,stanton1 ,gourlay ,steell1 and ,hughes ,taylor1 call for no particular comment4 ,from #ahfa the chief full-page illustrations were printed separately on toned paper4 ,a series of animal subjects by ',j4 ,b41' twelve ',illustrations of ,scripture1' engraved by ,dalziel ,brothers1 were announced in the prospectus as a special feature4 ,somewhat pre-,raphaelite in handling they are distinctly interesting1 but hardly masterly4 ,but the volume will be always memorable for its early work by ,frederick ,walker and ,g4 ,du ,maurier4 ,a ,time to ,dance1 by the latter1 shows a certain decorative element1 which in various ways has influenced his work at different periods1 although no one could have deduced from it the future career of its brilliant author as a satirist of society1 a draughtsman who imparted into his work1 to a degree no ,english artist has surpassed1 and very few equalled1 that 'good form' so prized by well-bred people4 ,the drawing unsigned ,the ,blind ,school 7p4 #eje71 attributed to ,fred ,walker in the index1 suggests some clerical error4 ,like one attributed to ,sandys in a later volume1 you hesitate before accepting evidence of the compiler of the list of engravings1 which the picture itself contradicts flatly4 ,only a ,sweep 7p4 #fji7 is signed1 and1 although by no means a good example1 is unquestionably attributed rightly4 ,john ,pettie has two designs1 ,cain's ,brand 7pp4 #cgf1 #dbb72 ,j4 ,m',whirter and ,w4 ,q4 ,orchardson1 one each2 ,h4 ,h4 ,armstead1 a pre-,raphaelite composition1 ,a ,song which none but the ,redeemed ever sing1 which is amongst the most interesting of the comparatively few illustrations by the ,royal ,academician1 who is better known as a sculptor1 as his ,music1 ,poetry1 and ,painting in the ,albert ,memorial1 the panels beneath ,dyce's frescoes at ,westminster ,palace1 and a long series of works shown at the ,academy exhibitions suffice to prove4 ,t4 ,morten1 a draughtsman who has missed so far his due share of appreciation1 is represented by ,the ,waker1 ,dreamer1 and ,sleeper 7p4 #fcd71 a powerful composition of a group of men praying at night by the side of a breaking dyke4 ,john ,pettie has two drawings2 and ,j4 ,d4 ,watson1 six subjects--the first1 ,the ,toad1 being singularly unlike his later style1 and suggesting a closer discipleship with the pre-,raphaelites than he maintained afterwards4 ,two by ,clarence ,dobell1 and three by ,t4 ,graham--one1 ,the ,young ,mother1 a charming arrangement in lines2 with others by ,j4 ,wolf1 ,zwecker1 ,w4 ,m',taggart1 ,j4 ,l4 ,porter1 ,a4 ,w4 ,cooper1 ,a4 ,bushnell1 ,w4 ,fyfe1 ,w4 ,linney1 and ,c4 ,h4 ,bennett1 are also included4 ,altogether the second volume shows marked advance upon the first1 although this admirable periodical had not yet reached its high-water mark4 ,in #ahfb we find added to its list of artists1 ,millais1 ,keene1 ,sandys1 ,whistler1 ,holman ,hunt1 ,e4 ,burne-,jones1 ,a4 ,boyd ,houghton1 ,tenniel1 ,s4 ,solomon1 and ,lawless1 a notable group1 even in that year when so many magazines show a marvellous 'galaxy of stars4' ,to ,millais fell the twelve illustrations to ,mistress and ,maid1 by the author of ,john ,halifax1 and two others1 ,olaf 7p4 #be7 and ,highland ,flora 7p4 #cic74 ,that these maintain fully the reputation of the great illustrator1 whose later achievements in oil have in popular estimation eclipsed his importance as a black-and-white artist1 goes without saying4 ,if not equal to the superb ,parables of the following year1 they are worthy of their author4 ,indeed1 no matter when you come across a ,millais1 it is with a fresh surprise each time that one finds it rarely falls below a singularly high level1 and is apt to seem1 for the moment1 the best he ever did4 ,illustration3 ,,simeon ,,solomon ',,good ,,words' #ahfb1 p4 #eib ,,the ,,veiled ,,bride ,illustration3 ,,frederick ,,walker ',,good ,,words' #ahfb1 p4 #feg ,,out ,,among ,,the ,,wild-,,flowers ,the two illustrations by ,j4 ,m',neill ,whistler seem to be very little known4 ,those to ,once a ,week1 possibly from the fact of their being reprinted in ,thornbury's ,legendary ,ballads1 have been often referred to and reproduced several times2 but no notice 7so far as ,i recollect7 of these1 to ,the ,first ,sermon1 has found its way into print4 ,the one 7p4 #ehe7 shows a girl crouching by a fire1 with a man1 whose head is turned towards her1 seated at a table with his hand on a lute4 ,the other 7p4 #fdi7 is a seated girl in meditation before a writing-table4 ,not a little of the beauty of line1 which distinguishes the work of the famous etcher1 is evident in these blocks1 which were both engraved by ,dalziel1 and as whatever the original lost cannot now be estimated1 as they stand they are nevertheless most admirable works1 preserving the rapid touch of the pen-line in a remarkable degree4 ,the ,charles ,keene drawing to ,nanneri the ,washerwoman is another ,dalziel block which merits praise in no slight measure2 as here again one fancies that the attempt has been to preserve a facsimile of each touch of the artist1 and not to translate wash into line4 ,the ,king ,sigurd of ,burne-,jones has certainly lost a great deal2 in fact1 judging by drawings of the same period still extant1 it conveys an effect quite different from that its author intended4 ,certainly1 at the present time1 he regards it as entirely unrepresentative2 but no doubt then as now he disliked drawing upon wood4 ,to-day it has been said that his ,chaucer drawings in pencil were practically translated by another hand in the course of their being engraved on wood4 ,certainly technique of lead pencil is hardly suggested1 much less reproduced in facsimile in the entirely admirable engravings by the veteran ,mr4 ,w4 ,h4 ,hooper4 ,but if the designs were photographed on the block such translation as they have undergone is no doubt due to the engraver4 ,a drawing by ,simeon ,solomon1 ,the ,veiled ,bride 7p4 #eib71 seems also much less dainty than his pencil studies of the same period4 ,many artists1 when they attempt to draw upon wood1 find the material peculiarly unsympathetic4 ,rossetti has left his opinion on record1 and it is quite possible that in both the ,burne-,jones and ,solomon1 as in the ,tennyson drawings1 although the engravers may have accomplished miracles1 what the artist had put down was untranslatable4 ,for the delicacies of pencil may easily produce something beyond the power of even the most skilful engraver to reproduce4 ,the ,sandys1 ,until her ,death 7p4 #cab71 illustrating a poem1 loses much as it appeared in the

presence of the superb series of drawings by ,millais1 ,the ,parables1 wherein the great illustrator touched his highest level4 ,to call these twelve pictures masterpieces is for once to apply consistently a term often misused4 ,for1 though one ransacked the portfolios of ,europe1 not many sets of drawings could be found to equal1 and very few to excel them4 ,the twelve subjects appeared in the following order3 ,the ,leaven 7p4 #a71 ,the ,ten ,virgins 7p4 #ha71 ,the ,prodigal ,son 7p4 #afa71 ,the ,good ,samaritan 7p4 #bda71 ,the ,unjust ,judge 7p4 #cac71 ,the ,pharisee and ,publican 7p4

versatility of an artist whose painting was somewhat mannered4 ,walter ,crane's--a fine group of oriental sailors--,treasure-trove 7p4 #gie71 and ,j4 ,d4 ,watson's six drawings are all capable and accomplished2 ,a ,pastoral 7p4 #cb71 a very elaborate composition which looks like a copy of an oil-painting1 ,fallen in the ,night 7p4 #ig71 ,the ,curate of ,suverdsio 7p4 #ccc71 ,the ,aspen 7p4 #dja71 ,rhoda 7p4 #ebj71 and ,olive ,shand's ,partner 7p4 #ggd71 with the not very important ,sheep and ,goats wrongly attributed to ,sandys1 two decorated pages by ,john ,leighton1 one drawing by ,e4 ,w4 ,cooke and five by ,t4 ,graham1 complete the year's record4 ,the volume for #ahfd is distinctly less interesting4 ,nevertheless it holds some fine things4 ,notably five ,millais'1 including ,oh6 the ,lark 7p4 #fe71 ,a ,scene for a ,study 7p4 #afa71 ,polly 7p4 #bdh71 7a baby-figure kneeling by a bed1 which has been republished elsewhere more than once71 ,the ,bridal of ,dandelot 7p4 #cjd71 and

,cray 7pp4 #cb-abi1 #bjb1 #bhf1 #cga1 #dec1 #ecb1 and #fjd71 shows great dramatic insight1 and a certain domestic charm1 which has caused the otherwise not very entrancing story to linger in one's memory in a way quite disproportionate to its merits4 ,the remaining illustrations to ,oswald ,cray are by ,r4 ,barnes 7pp4 #fia1 #gfa1 #hbg71 the same artist contributing also ,grandmother's ,snuff1 7p4 #daa71 ,a ,burn ,case 7p4 #efh71 ,a ,lancashire ,doxology1 7p4 #ehe71 ,blessed to ,give 7p4 #fda71 and ,the ,organ ,fiend 7p4 #fig74 ,m4 ,j4 ,lawless is responsible for only one subject1 a study

association with a picture4 ,arthur ,hughes has a graceful design1 ,at the ,sepulchre 7p4 #gbh71 which seems to have lost much in the engraving2 ,john ,tenniel is also represented by a solitary

,eltze1 ,j4 ,w4 ,ehrenger1 ,r4 ,t4 ,pritchett1 and ,w4 ,colomb1 call for no special mention4 ,to ,john ,pettie is attributed a tail-piece of no importance4 ,illustration3 ,m4 ,j4 ,,lawless ',,good ,,words' #ahfd1 p4 #afh ,,the ,,player ,,and ,,the ,,listeners ,with #ahfe comes a sudden cessation of interest1 as seventy of the illustrations are engraved 'from photographs of oriental scenes to illustrate the editor's series of travel papers1' ,eastward4 ,this leaves room merely for pictures to the two serials4 ,paul ,gray contributed those to ,charles ,kingsley's novel1 ,hereward1 the ,last of the ,english2 but the twelve drawings are unequal1 and in few show the promise which elsewhere he exhibited so fully4 ,robert ,barnes supplies nine for the story1 ,alfred ,hagart's ,household1 by ,alexander ,smith of ,city ,poems fame4 ,these1 like all the artist's work1 are singularly good of their kind1 and show at once his great facility and his comparatively limited range of types4 ,in #ahff1 although engravings after photographs do not usurp the space to the extent they did in the previous year1 they are present1 and the volume1 in spite of many excellent drawings1 cannot compare in interest with those for #ahfb-fd4 ,the frontispiece1 ,lilies1 is a most charming figure-subject by ,w4 ,small1 who contributes also three others3 ,the ,old ,yeomanry ,weeks 7p4 #abg71 ,deliverance 7p4 #ffc71 a typical example of a landscape with figures in the foreground1 which1 in the hands of this artist1 becomes something entirely distinct from the 'figure with a landscape beyond' of most others2 and ,carissimo 7p4 #gcf71 a pair of lovers on an old stone bench1 'just beyond the ,julian gate1' which seems as carefully studied as if it were intended for a painting in oils4 ,to compare the average picture to a poem to-day1 with the work of ,mr4 ,small and many of his fellows1 is not encouraging4 ,thirty years ago it seemed as if the draughtsman did his best to evolve a perfect representation of the subject of the verses2 now one feels doubtful whether the artist does not keep on hand1 to be supplied to order1 a series of lovers in attitudes warranted to fit1 more or less accurately1 any verses by any poet4 ,of course for one picture issued then1 a score1 perhaps a hundred1 are published to-day1 and it might be that numerically as many really good drawings appear in the course of a year now1 as then2 but1 while our average rarely descends to the feeblest depths of the sixties1 it still more rarely comes near such work as ,mr4 ,small's1 whose method is still followed and has influenced more decidedly a larger number of draughtsmen than has that of ,millais1 ,walker1 ,pinwell1 or ,houghton4 ,studying his work at this date1 you realise how very strongly he influenced the so-called ',graphic ,school' which supplanted the movement we are considering in the next decade4 ,despite the appreciation1 contemporary and retrospective1 already bestowed upon his work1 despite the influence--not always for good--upon the younger men1 it is yet open to doubt if the genius of this remarkable artist has received adequate recognition4 ,in a running commentary upon work of all degrees of excellence1 one is struck anew with its admirably sustained power and its constantly fresh manner4 ,this digression1 provoked by the four delightful ',small' drawings1 must not lead one to overlook the rest of the pictures in ,good ,words for #ahff4 ,they include ,the ,island ,church1 by ,j4 ,w4 ,north 7p4 #cic71 ,the ,life-,boat1 by ,j4 ,w4 ,lawson 7p4 #bdh71 ,between the ,showers1 by ,w4 ,j4 ,linton1 7p4 #dbd71 six illustrations to ,ruth ,thornbury1 by ,m4 ,e4 ,edwards1 and one by ,g4 ,j4 ,pinwell1 ,bridget ,dally's ,change4 ,perhaps the most notable of the year are the five still to be named3 ,a4 ,boyd ,houghton's ,the ,voyage1 and a set of four half-page drawings1 ,reaping1 ,binding1 ,carrying1 ,gleaning1 entitled ,the ,harvest 7pp4 #fjj1 #fja74 ,these have a decorative arrangement not always present in the work of this clever artist1 and a peculiarly large method of treatment1 so much so that if the text informed you that they were pen-sketches from life-size paintings1 you would not be surprised4 ,whether by accident or design1 it is curious to discover that the landscapes in each pair1 set as they are on pages facing one another1 have a look of being carried across the book in ,japanese fashion4 #ahfg might be called the ,pinwell year1 as a dozen of his illustrations to ,dr4 ,george ,mac ,donald's ,guild ,court1 and one each to ,a ,bird in the ,hand and ,the ,cabin ,boy1 account for nearly half the original drawings in the volume4 ,w4 ,small is seen in five characteristic designs to ,dr4 ,macleod's ,the ,starling1 and one each to ,beside the ,stile 7p4 #fde7 and ,the ,highland ,student 7p4 #ffc74 ,arthur ,boyd ,houghton contributes ,omar and the ,persian 7p4 #ajd7 and ,making ,poetry 7p4 #bdh72 the first a typical example of his oriental manner1 the latter one of his home scenes4 ,s4 ,l4 ,fildes appears with ,in the ,choir 7p4 #ecg71 a church interior showing the influence of ,william ,small4 ,f4 ,w4 ,lawson illustrates ,grace's ,fortune with three drawings1 also redolent of ,small1 and ,fred ,walker has ,waiting in the ,dusk1 a picture of a girl in a passage1 which does not illustrate the accompanying verses1 and has the air of being a picture prepared for a serial some time before1 that1 having been delayed for some reason1 has been served up with a poem that chanced to be in type4 ,in #ahfh ,pinwell and ,houghton between them are responsible for quite half the separate plates1 and ,small contributes no less than thirty-four which illustrate delightfully ,the ,woman's ,kingdom1 a novel by the author of ,john ,halifax1 together with a large number of vignetted initials1 a feature not before introduced into this magazine4 ,without forgetting the many admirable examples of ,mr4 ,small's power to sustain the interest of the reader throughout a whole set of illustrations to a work of fiction1 one doubts if he has ever surpassed the excellence of these4 ,the little sketches of figures and landscapes in the initials show that he did not consider it beneath his dignity to study the text thoroughly1 so as to interpret it with dramatic insight4 ,your modern chic draughtsman1 who reads hastily the few lines underscored in blue pencil by his editor1 must laugh at the pains taken by the older men4 ,indeed1 a very up-to-date illustrator will not merely refuse to carry out the author's idea1 but prefer his own conception of the character1 and say so4 ,that neither course in itself produces great work may be granted1 but one cannot avoid the conclusion that if it be best to illustrate a novel 7which is by no means certain7 that artist is most worthy of praise who does his utmost to present the characters invented by the author4 ,true1 that character-drawing with pen and pencil is out of date1--subtle emotion has taken its place1--it is not easy to make a picture of a person smiling outwardly1 but inwardly convulsed with conflicting desires2 the smile you may get1 but the conflicting desires are hard to work in at the same time4 ,appreciation of ,mr4 ,small's design need not imply censure of the work of others2 but1 all the same1 the cheap half-tone from a wash-drawing1 in the current sixpenny magazine1 looks a very feeble thing after an hour devoted to the illustrations to ,guy ,waterman's ,maze1 ,the ,woman's ,kingdom1 ,griffith ,gaunt1 and the rest of the serials he illustrated4 ,in this volume two others1 ,the ,harvest ,home 7p4 #dhi7 and ,a ,love ,letter 7p4 #fah71 are also from the same facile hand4 ,the first of the ,boyd ,houghtons is a striking design to ,tennyson's poem of ,the ,victim 7p4 #ah72 neither picture nor poem shows its author at his best4 ,others signed ,a4 ,b4 ,h4 are3 ,the ,church in the ,cevennes 7pp4 #ef1 #eg71

of the men who did so much to sustain the artistic reputation of this magazine4 ,w4 ,small has but one drawing1 ,the ,old ,manor-,house 7p4 #hdi74 ,hubert ,herkomer is represented by ,the ,way to

thirty-five to ,debenham's ,vow1 and thirty-three to ,noblesse ,oblige1 with seven others1 none of them worth reconsideration1 although they served their purpose no doubt at the time4 ,with #ahgj we reach the limit of the present chronicle1 to which ,francis ,walker and ,f4 ,a4 ,fraser contribute most of the pictures4 ,the most interesting are3 ,arthur ,hughes's ,fancy 7p4 #ggg7 and ,the

,mr4 ,hughes's work1 which appeared here with the lyrics set to ,sir ,arthur ,sullivan's music2 another by the same artist1 ,the ,mother and the ,angel 7p4 #fdh71 is also worth noting4 ,one ,boyd

years of this still flourishing monthly one can hardly omit mention of the volume for #ahgh1 in which ,william ,black's ,macleod of ,dare is illustrated by ,g4 ,h4 ,boughton1 ,r4,a41 ,j4 ,pettie1 ,r4,a41 ,p4 ,graham1 ,r4,a41 ,w4 ,q4 ,orchardson1 ,r4,a41 and ,john ,everett ,millais1 ,r4,a41 a group which recalls the glories of its early issues4 ,,london ,,society ,this popular illustrated shilling magazine1 started in ,february #ahfb under the editorship of ,mr4 ,james ,hogg1 has not received so far its due share of appreciation from the few who have studied the publications of the sixties4 ,yet its comparative neglect is easily accounted for4 ,it contains1 no doubt1 much good work--some1 indeed1 worthy to be placed in the first rank4 ,but it also includes a good deal that1 if tolerable when the momentary fashions it depicted were not ludicrous1 appears now merely commonplace and absurd4 ,a great artist--,millais especially--could introduce the crinoline and the ,dundreary whiskers1 so that even to-day their ugliness does not repel you4 ,but less accomplished draughtsmen1 who followed slavishly the inelegant mode of the sixties1 now stand revealed as merely journalists4 ,journalism1 useful and honourable as its work may be1 rarely has lasting qualities which bear revival4 ,aiming as it did to be a 'smart' and topical magazine1 with the mood of the hour reflected in its pages1 it remains a document not without interest to the social historian4 ,amid its purely ephemeral contents there are quite enough excellent drawings to ensure its preservation in any

chapter to periodicals one must insist upon their relative importance2 for the time and money expended on them in a single year would balance possibly the cost of all the books mentioned in this volume4 ,in a nave yet admirable article in the ,christmas ,bookseller1 #ahfb1 written from a commercial standpoint1 the author says1 speaking of some pictures in ,good ,words3 ',some of these1 we are informed1 cost as much as #ej a block1 a sum which appears marvellous when we look at the low price of the magazine'2 he instances also the celebrated ',j4 ,b4'#c1 'whose delineations of animals are equal to ,landseer4 ,the magazines to be noticed are those only which contain original designs2 others1 ,the ,national ,magazine1 the ,fine ,arts ,quarterly1 and the like1 which relied upon the reproductions of paintings1 are not even mentioned4 ,,the ,,churchman',s ,,family ,,magazine ,any periodical containing the work of ,millais and ,sandys is1 obviously1 in the front rank1 but ,the ,churchman's ,family ,magazine1 which started in ,january #ahfc1 did not long maintain its high level2 yet the first half a dozen volumes have enough good work to entitle them to more than passing mention4 ,this1 like ,london ,society1 was published by ,mr4 ,james ,hogg1 and must not be confounded with another of the same price1 with similar title1 ,the ,churchman's ,shilling ,magazine1 to which reference is made elsewhere4 ,in the familiar octavo of its class1 it is well printed and well illustrated4 ,the first volume contains two full pages by ,millais1 ,let that be please 7p4 #ae7

vol4 vii4 onwards portraits1 chiefly of ecclesiastical dignitaries1 take the place of pictures4 ,,the ,,shilling ,,magazine ,this somewhat scarce publication is often referred to as one of the important periodicals of the sixties1 but on looking through it1 it seems to have established its claim on somewhat slender foundation4 ,true1 it contains one of ,sandys' most memorable designs--here reproduced in photogravure from an early impression of the block1 a peculiarly fine drawing--to ,christina ,rossetti's poem1 ,amor ,mundi4 ,it was reproduced from a photograph of the drawing on wood in the first edition of ,mr4 ,pennell's admirable ,pen ,drawing and ,pen ,draughtsmen1 and in the second edition are reproductions by process1 not only of ,mr4 ,sandys' original drawing as preserved in a ,hollyer photograph1 but of preliminary studies for the figures4 ,the rest of the illustrations of the magazine1 which only lived for a few months1 are comparatively few and not above the average in merit4 ,the numbers1 ,may #ahfe to ,may #ahff1 contain eight drawings by ,j4 ,d4 ,watson1 illustrating ,mrs4 ,riddell's ,phemie ,keller4 ,thirteen by ,paul ,gray illustrate ,the ,white ,flower of

,hughes2 a fine composition1 ,lost on the ,fells1 by ,w4 ,small1 and a few minor drawings mostly in the text4 ,it was published by ,t4 ,bosworth1 #bae ,regent ,street4 ,this is a brief record of a fairly praiseworthy venture1 but there is really no more to be said about it4 ,,the ,,sunday ,,magazine1 ,another sixpenny illustrated monthly more definitely religious in its aim than ,good ,words1 of which it was an offspring1 was started in #ahfe4 ,the illustrations from the first were hardly less interesting than those in the other publications under the direction of ,mr4 ,alexander ,strahan4 ,indeed1 it would be unjust not to express very clearly and unmistakably the debt which all lovers of black-and-white art owe to the publisher of these magazines4 ,the conditions of oil-painting demand merely a public ready to buy3 whether the artist negotiates directly with the purchaser1 or employs an agent1 is a matter of convenience4 ,but black-and-white illustration requires a well-circulated1 well-printed1 well-conducted periodical3 not as a middleman whose services can be dispensed with1 but as a vital factor in the enterprise4 ,therefore drawings intended for publication imply a publisher1 and one who is not merely a man with pronounced artistic taste1 but also a good administrator and a capable man of business4 ,these triple qualifications are found but rarely together1 and when they do unite1 the influence of such a personality is of the utmost importance4 ,mr4 ,strahan1 who appears to have combined in no small degree the qualities which go to make a successful publisher1 set on foot two popular magazines1 which1 in spite of their having long passed their first quarter of a century1 are still holding their own4 ,a third1 full of promise1 ,good ,words for the ,young1 was cut off in its prime1 or rather died of a lingering disease1 caused by that terrible microbe the foreign clich4 ,others1 ,the ,day of ,rest and ,saturday ,journal1 also affected by the same ailment1 succumbed after more or less effort2 but the magazines that relied on the best contemporary illustrators still flourish4 ,the moral1 obvious as it is1 deserves to be insisted upon4 ,to-day the photograph from life is as popular with many editors as the clich from ,german and ,french originals was in the seventies2 but a public which tired of foreign electros may soon grow weary of the inevitable photograph1 and so the warning is worth setting down4 ,illustration3 ,j4 ,,mahoney ',,sunday ,,magazine' #ahff1 p4 #hbe ,,summer ,illustration3 ,j4 ,w4 ,,north ',,sunday ,,magazine' #ahfe1 p4 #cbh ,,winter ,like its companion1 ,good ,words1 it has known fat years and lean years2 volumes that were full of admirable drawings1 and volumes that barely maintained

,north1 ,g4 ,j4 ,pinwell1 and ,marcus ,stone well represented4 ,the standard of excellence implied by these names was preserved for a considerable time4 ,to this ,pinwell contributes two drawings1

all interesting1 but do not represent him at his best4 ,the single contribution by ,a4 ,boyd ,houghton1 ,friar ,ives 7p4 #chd71 is not particularly good4 ,in ,winter1 by ,j4 ,w4 ,north 7p4 #cbh71 we have a most excellent drawing of a snow-clad farm with a thrashing machine at work in the distance1 and two children in the foreground4 ,the delicacy and breadth of the work1 and its true tonality deserve appreciation2 it was engraved by ,swain4 ,drowned 7p4 #ehe71 by ,marcus ,stone1 is not very typical4 ,the ,watch at the ,sepulchre 7p4 #idj71 by ,j4 ,lawson1 is a spirited group of ,roman

rest of the pictures by ,t4 ,dalziel1 ,f4 ,j4 ,slinger1 ,r4 ,t4 ,pritchett1 ,f4 ,eltze1 ,w4 ,m',connell1 etc41 call for no special comment4 ,in #ahff ,j4 ,mahoney's ,summer1 the frontispiece to the volume1 is a notable example of a clever artist1 whose work has hardly yet attracted the attention it deserves2 ,marie 7p4 #gec71 a study of an old woman knitting1 is no less good4 ,birket ,foster's ,autumn 7p4 #a7 is also a very typical example4 ,paul ,gray's ,among the ,flowers 7p4 #fbd71 a group of children from the slums in a country lane1 is fairly good4 ,w4 ,small1 in ,hebe ,dunbar 'from a photograph' 7p4 #dda71 supplies an object-lesson of translation rather than imitation1 which deserves to be studied to-day4 ,in it1 a really great draughtsman has given you a personal rendering of facts1 like those he would have set down had he worked from life1 and thereby imparted individual interest to a copy of a photograph4 ,this one block1 if photographers would but study it1 should convince them that a good drawing is in every way preferable to a 'half-tone' block from a photograph of the subject2 it might also teach a useful lesson to certain draughtsmen1 who employ photographs so clumsily that the result is good neither as photography nor as drawing1 but partakes of the faults of both4 ,three designs to the ,annals of a ,quiet ,neighbourhood1 by ,dr4 ,george ,mac ,donald1

date that this book attempts to cover4 ,as ,cassell's ,family ,paper1 a large folio weekly1 beyond the fact that the ubiquitous ,sir ,john ,gilbert did innumerable good things for its pages1 one is not greatly interested in it4 ,but in #ahfe it was changed to a quarto shape1 and although ,l4 ,huard supplied the front page pictures to vol4 i41 and so the artistic position of the paper was not improved1 yet soon after the change we find a great illustrator contributing the weekly drawing for its chief serial4 ,for despite the indifferent engraving accorded to many of the blocks and the absence of any signature1 the autograph of ,william ,small is legible in every line of the illustrations to ,bound to the ,wheel which started with vol4 ii4 in ,august #bf1 #ahff1 and has sixteen half-page illustrations4 ,this was followed by ,the ,secret ,sign1 with the same artist for a few chapters4 ,then another hand appears1 and soon after the monogram ,f4 ,g4 shows that the second ,gilbert 7a brother1 ,i believe1 of the more famous artist7 has replaced ,w4 ,small4 ,to one drawing of another serial1 ,the ,lion in the ,path1 the signature of ,t4 ,morten is appended4 ,in ,april #ahfg its title is changed to ,cassell's ,family ,magazine1 and it is printed on toned paper4 ,the serial1 ,anne ,judge1 ,spinster1 by ,f4 ,w4 ,robinson1 has thirty illustrations by ,charles ,green4 ,no doubt the originals were worthy of that admirable draughtsman2 indeed1 despite their very ordinary engraving1 enough remains to show the handling of a most capable artist4 ,the succeeding serial1 ,poor ,humanity1 is illustrated by ,b4 ,bradley4 ,j4 ,d4 ,watson contributes occasional drawings--,ethel1 on p4 #bb1 being the first4 ,m4 ,ellen ,edwards also appears1 with ,f4 ,w4 ,lawson1 ,f4 ,a4 ,fraser1 ,henley1 ,c4 ,j4 ,staniland1 ,r4 ,t4 ,pritchett1 ,m4 ,w4 ,ridley1 ,j4 ,mahoney1 and ,g4 ,h4 ,thomas4 ,it is noteworthy of the importance attached to the illustrator at this date1 that the names of those artists who have contributed to the magazine are printed in bold type upon the title-page to each volume4 ,these1 as later1 bear no date1 so that only in volumes bound with the wrappers in ,british ,museum fashion can you ascertain the year of their publication4 ,in vol4 iii4 7,may #ahfh onwards7 you discover on p4 #i a drawing1 ,cleve ,cliff1 by ,g4 ,j4 ,pinwell4 ,its serial1 ,a ,fight for ,life1 is illustrated by ,g4 ,h4 ,thomas1 whose pictures are not signed1 nor have ,i found that the authorship is attributed to the artists within the magazine itself4 ,but in the ',in ,memoriam' volume1 published soon after his death1 several are reprinted and duly credited to him4 ,they were all engraved by ,w4 ,thomas4 ,the first appearance of ,s4 ,l4 ,fildes1 ,woodland ,voices1 is on p4 #acg of this volume4 ,t4 ,blake ,wirgman has also a notable composition1 ,a ,sculptor's ,love1 and in this and in volume iv4 there are other drawings by ,fildes1 ,pinwell1 and many by ,f4 ,barnard1 ,f4 ,s4 ,walker1 and other popular draughtsmen of the period4 ,illustration3 ,,frederick ,,sandys ',,the ,,argosy' #ahff1 ,,vol4 ,i4 p4 #ccf ',,if' ,in #ahgj we find another change1 this time to a page that may be a quarto technically1 but instead of the square proportions we usually connect with that shape1 it seems more akin to an octavo4 ,the illustrations are smaller1 but far better engraved and better printed4 ,w4 ,small illustrates ,wilkie ,collins's cleverly-constructed story1 ,man and ,wife1 with thirty-seven pictures4 ,his character-drawing appears at its best in ',bishopriggs1' the old ,scotch waiter1 his love of beauty of line in two or three sketches of the athlete1 ',geoffrey ,delamayne1' the working villain of the story4 ,the dramatic force of the group on p4 #cje1 the mystery of the scene on p4 #ebi1 or the finely-contrasted emotions of ,anne ,silvester and ,sir ,patrick on p4 #dha1 could hardly be beaten4 ,the other contributors to this vol4 i4 of the new series1 include ,r4 ,barnes1 ,basil ,bradley1 ,h4 ,k4 ,browne1 ,w4 ,r4 ,duckman1 ,e4 ,h4 ,corbould1 ,m4 ,e4 ,edwards1 ,e4 ,ellis1 ,s4 ,l4 ,fildes1 ,f4 ,a4 ,fraser1 ,e4 ,hughes1 ,f4 ,w4 ,lawson1 ,h4 ,paterson1 and others1 most of whom it were kindness to ignore4 ,for side by side with ,mr4 ,small's masterly designs appear the weakest and most commonplace full pages4 ,hardly one1 except ,s4 ,l4 ,fildes's ,a ,sonnet 7p4 #i71 tempts you to linger a moment4 ,in vol4 ii4 the serial story1 ,checkmate1 is illustrated by ,towneley ,green4 ,the drawings throughout are mainly by those who contributed to the first volume4 ,in the third volume1 ,charles ,reade's ,a ,terrible ,temptation is illustrated by ,edward ,hughes2 a somewhat powerful composition by ,j4 ,d4 ,linton1 p4 #cgg2 one by ,w4 ,small 7p4 #i71 and others by ,j4 ,lawson1 ,f4 ,w4 ,lawson1 ,m4 ,e4 ,edwards1 are all that can claim to be noted4 ,,belgravia ,this illustrated shilling monthly1 the same size and shape as most of its predecessors1 was not started until #ahff1 and its earlier volumes have nothing in them sufficiently important to be noticed4 ,in the seventies better things are to be found4 ,,the ,,argosy ,this monthly periodical1 as we know it of late years1 suggests a magazine devoted to fiction and light literature1 with a frontispiece by some well-known artist1 and small engravings in the text mostly from photographs1 or belonging to the diagram and the record rather than to fine art4 ,i am not speaking of the present shilling series1 but of the long array of volumes from #ahfh until a few years ago4 ,nor does this opinion belittle the admirable illustrations by ,walter ,crane1 ,m4 ,ellen ,edwards1 and other artists who supplied its monthly frontispiece4 ,but the first four half-yearly volumes were planned on quite different lines1 and these deserve the attention of all interested in the subject of this book1 to a degree hardly below that of the better-known magazines2 better known1 that is to say1 as storehouses of fine illustrations4 ,as these volumes seem to be somewhat scarce1 a brief rsum of their contents will not be out of place4 ,in the year #ahff we have ,william ,small at his best in twelve illustrations to ,charles ,reade's dramatic novel1 ,griffith ,gaunt4 ,whether because the ink has sunk into the paper and given a rich tone to the prints1 or because of their intrinsic merit1 it is not quite easy to say1 but the fact remains that these drawings have peculiar richness1 and deserve to be placed among the best works of a great artist not yet fully recognised4 ,one design by ,f4 ,sandys to ,christina ,rossetti's poem1 ,if1 is especially noticeable1 the model biting a strand of hair embodies the same idea as that of ,proud ,maisie1 one of the best-known works of this master4 ,a4 ,boyd ,houghton has a typical ,eastern figure-subject1 ,the ,vision of ,sheik ,hamil2 ,edward ,hughes one1 ,hermione2 ,paul ,gray1 a singularly good drawing to a poem ,the ,lead-,melting1 by ,robert ,buchanan4 ,another to a poem by ,george ,macdonald1 ,the ,sighing of the ,shell1 is unsigned1 whether by ,morten or ,paul ,gray ,i cannot say1 but it is worthy of either artist2 ,j4 ,lawson has one to ,the ,earl of ,quarterdeck1 ,m4 ,ellen ,edwards one to ,cuckoo and one to ,cape ,ushant1 a ballad by ,william ,allingham2 a group1 with ,napoleon as the

up the eleven it contains4 ,in the next year ,walter ,crane illustrates the serial1 ,anne ,hereford1 by ,mrs4 ,henry ,wood1 and also a poem1 ,margaret1 by his sister4 ,illustration3 ,a4 ,,boyd

semi-religious monthly magazine1 published by ,messrs4 ,cassell and ,co41 was not illustrated at first4 ,it is almost unnecessary to describe it volume by volume1 as a reprint of its principal illustrations was made in #ahfg1 when fifty-two pictures were sandwiched between poems1 and published in a small quarto volume entitled ',idyllic ,pictures1 drawn by ,barnes1 ,miss ,ellen ,edwards1 ,paul ,gray1 ,houghton1 ,r4 ,p4 ,leitch1 ,pinwell1 ,sandys1 ,small1 ,g4 ,thomas1 etc' ,the curiously colloquial nomenclature of the artists on the title-page is the only direct reference to their share in the book1 which is well printed1 and includes some admirable illustrations4 ,the book is now exceptionally scarce1 and like its companion1 ,pictures of ,society1 selected from ,london ,society1 must be searched for long and patiently4 ,personal inquiries at all the accessible shops in ,london1 ,bath1 and ,edinburgh failed to find one bookseller who had ever heard of either book4 ,yet1 in spite of it1 single copies of both turned up alternately on the shelves of men who were at the moment of its discovery glibly doubting its existence4 ,the ignorance of booksellers concerning this period is at once the terror and the joy of the collector4 ,for when they do know1 he will have to pay for their knowledge4 ,yet it would be unfair to the reputation of a periodical which issued so many designs by representative artists of the sixties to dismiss it without a little more detail4 ,started as a non-illustrated paper on ,october #f1 #ahfd1 it entered the ranks with a very capable staff4 ,in #ahff a third series on toned paper still further established its claim to be considered seriously1 and the fact that these few years supplied the matter for the volume just mentioned shows that it fulfilled its purpose well4 ,in volume i4 third series 7#ahff71 pictures by ,a4 ,boyd ,houghton will be found on pages #ecb1 #ehe1 #ffd1 #gbh1 #gcg1 #ggf1 and #hfh2 and in vol4 ii4 #ahfg1 he

but entirely filled with chapters of the story in question1 were issued in ,april and ,october #ahgj4 ,so curious a departure from ordinary routine is worth noting4 ,,good ,,words ,,for ,,the ,,young1 ,a most delightful children's magazine1 which began as a sixpenny monthly under the editorship of ,dr4 ,norman ,macleod in #ahfi1 bids fair to become one of those books peculiarly dear 7in all senses7 to collectors4 ,there are many reasons why it deserves to be treasured4 ,its literature includes several books for children that in volume-form afterwards became classics2 its illustrations1 especially those by ,arthur ,hughes1 appeal forcibly to the student of that art1 which is called pre-,raphaelite1 sthetic1 or ,decorative1 according to the mood of the hour4 ,like all books intended for children1 a large proportion of its edition found speedy oblivion in the nursery2 and those that survive are apt to show examples of the amateur artist in his most infantile experiments with a penny paint-box4 ,from the very first it surrounded itself with that atmosphere of distinction1 which is well-nigh as fatal to a magazine's longevity as saintliness of disposition to a ,sunday-school hero4 ,after a career that may be called truthfully--brilliant1 it suddenly changed to a periodical of no importance1 illustrated chiefly by foreign clichs4 ,how long it lingered in this state does not concern us4 ,indeed1 it is only by a liberal interpretation of the title of this book that a magazine which was not started until #ahfi can be included in the sixties at all2 but it seems to have continued the tradition of the sixties1 and until the first half of #ahgd1 although it changed its editor and its title 7to ,good ,things71 it kept the spirit of the first volume unimpaired2 but after that date it joined the majority of uninteresting periodicals for children1 and did not survive its recantation for many years4 ,in #ahfi ,arthur ,hughes has twenty-four drawings to ,george ,macdonald's ,at the ,back of the ,north ,wind1 and ten to the earlier chapters of ,henry ,kingsley's ,boy in ,grey4 ,the art of ,a4 ,boyd ,houghton is seen in three instances3 ,cocky ,locky's ,journey 7p4 #di71 ,lessons from ,russia 7p4 #aja71 and ,the ,boys of ,axleford 7p4 #ade74 ,j4 ,mahoney has about a dozen2 ,h4 ,herkomer one to ,lonely ,jane 7p4 #bh72 and ,g4 ,j4 ,pinwell one to ,black ,rock 7p4 #bee74 ,although1 following the example set by its parent ,good ,words1 it credits the illustrations most faithfully to their artists in a separate index1 yet it developed a curious habit of illustrating its serials with a fresh artist for each instalment2 and1 as their names are bracketed1 it is not an easy task to attribute each block to its rightful author4 ,the list which ,i have made is by my side1 but it is hardly of sufficient general interest to print here2 as many of the sketches1 despite the notable signatures upon them1 are trivial and non-representative4 ,other

in ,lilliput ,lectures and elsewhere1--one1 ,mercy 7p4 #aie71 reappearing in that work1 and again as the theme of a large painting in oils1 which was exhibited at the ,royal ,academy #ahic1 and

,griset1 ,w4 ,j4 ,wiegand1 and ,francis ,walker4 ,on and after #ahgd the clich enters1 and all interest ceases4 ,at this time the business of trading in clichs had begun to assume large proportions4 ,you find sometimes1 in the course of a single month1 that an ,english periodical hitherto exclusively ,british becomes merely a vehicle for foreign clichs4 ,in this instance the change is so sudden that1 excepting a few ,english blocks which we may presume had been prepared before1 the foreigner is supreme4 ,that1 in at least three cases1 the demise of the publication was merely a question of months is a sequel not to be regretted4 ,but we need not assume too hastily that the clich killed it--possibly it had ceased to be profitable before1 and the false economy of spending less has tempted the proprietor to employ foreign illustrations4 ,,britannia1 ,another shilling illustrated magazine1 was started in #ahfi4 ,the ,british ,museum1 it seems1 possesses no set1 and my own copy has disappeared1 excepting the first volume1 but so far as that proves1 and my memory can be trusted1 it was illustrated solely by ,matt ,morgan1 a brilliant but ephemeral genius who shortly after migrated to ,new ,york4 ,the peculiarity of this magazine is that1 like ,the ,tomahawk1 a satirical journal illustrated by the same artist1 its pictures were all printed in two colours1 after the fashion of the old ,venetian wood-blocks4 ,the one colour was used as a ground with the high lights cut away2 the other block1 for the ordinary convention of line-drawing4 ,some of the pictures are effective1 but none are worthy of very serious consideration4 ,,dark ,,blue ,although ,dark ,blue1 a shilling monthly magazine1 did not begin until ,march #ahga1 and ran its brief career until ,march #ahgc only1 it deserves mention here1 because quite apart from its literary contributions which were notable1 including as they did ,swinburne's ,end of a ,month1 ,rossetti's ,down ,stream1 its earlier volumes contain at least two drawings that will be prized when these things are collected seriously4 ,besides1 it has a certain cachet of its own that will always entitle it to a place4 ,its wrapper in colours1 with three classically-attired maidens by a doorway1 is singularly unlike that of any other publication2 possibly ,f4 ,w4 ,l4 would not be anxious to claim the responsibility of its design1 yet it was new in its day1 and not a bad specimen of the good effect of three simple colours on a white ground4 ,its serial1 ,lost1 a ,romance by ,j4 ,c4 ,freund1 was illustrated by ,f4 ,w4 ,lawson1 ,t4 ,w4 ,perry1 ,t4 ,robinson1 and ,d4 ,t4 ,white2 and its second serial1 ,take care whom you trust1 by ,m4 ,e4 ,freere and ,t4 ,w4 ,ridley4 ,a full-page drawing 7they are all separately printed plates in this magazine71 by ,cecil ,lawson1 ,spring1 is far more interesting4 ,musaeus1 by ,a4 ,w4 ,cooper1 a somewhat jejune representation of the ,hero and ,leander motive1 and other illustrations by ,e4 ,f4 ,clarke1 ,w4 ,j4 ,hennessey1 ,m4 ,fitzgerald1 ,d4 ,h4 ,friston1 ,s4 ,p4 ,hall1 ,j4 ,a4 ,h4 ,bird1 are commonplace designs engraved by ,c4 ,m4 ,jenkin2 but ,the ,end of a

represent the work of two artists who very rarely appeared as magazine illustrators4 ,the literature includes many names that have since become widely known1 but the project failed1 one imagines1 to secure popular support1 and so it must be numbered with the long list of similar good intentions4 ,,the ,,british ,,workman ,it would be unjust to ignore a very popular penny magazine because of its purely philanthropic purpose4 ,for from the first it recognised the importance of good illustrations as its great attraction1 and enlisted some of the best draughtsmen to fulfil its didactic aim4 ,we cannot help admiring its pluck1 and congratulating the cause it championed 7and still supports71 and its fortune in securing coadjutors4 ,the first number1 issued in ,february #ahee1 has a design1 the ,loaf ,lecture1 by ,george ,cruikshank on its first page2 for some time ,h4 ,anelay and ,l4 ,huard were the most frequent contributors2 then came ,john ,gilbert and ,harrison ,weir1 the earliest important ,gilbert being ,the ,last ,moments of ,thomas ,paine 7,january #ahfb74 ,as a sample of white-line engraving1 a block after a medallion of the ,prince ,consort1 by ,l4 ,c4 ,wyon1 and another of ,h4,m4 ,the ,queen1 would be hard to beat4 ,among these more frequent contributors1 we find drawings by ,j4 ,d4 ,watson1 ,my account with ,her ,majesty 7,august #ahfd7 and ,parley and ,flatterwell 7,december #ahfe7 being the most notable2 and others by ,a4 ,w4 ,cooper1 and lastly many by ,r4 ,barnes1 whose studies of humble life yet await the full appreciation they deserve4 ,these large and vigorous engravings maintain a singularly high level of excellence1 and1 if not impeccable1 are yet distinctly of art1 and far above the ephemeral padding of more pretentious magazines4 ,,the ,,band ,,of ,,hope ,,review ,of all unlikely publications to interest artist or collector a halfpenny monthly devoted to teetotalism might take first place4 ,not because of its price1 nor because it was a monthly with a mission1 for many cheap serials have attracted the support of artists who gave liberally of their best for the sake of the cause the publications championed4 ,the ,band of ,hope ,review is no esoteric pamphlet1 but a perfect instance of a popular venture unconcerned1 one would think1 with art4 ,it would be easy to claim too much for it2 still the good work in its pages merits attention4 ,it was started in #ahfa as a folio sheet about the size of ,the ,sketch1 its front page being always filled by a large wood-engraving4 ,the first full page1 by ,h4 ,anelay1 a draughtsman whose speciality was the good little boy and girl of the most commonplace religious periodicals1 promises little enough4 ,a series of really fine drawings of animals and birds by ,harrison ,weir commenced in ,no4 #b4 ,the third issue included a page by ,l4 ,huard1 whose work occasionally found its way to the shilling magazines1 although the bulk of it appeared in the mass of journals of the type of the ,london ,journal1 ,bow ,bells1 etc4 ,in the fifth number ,john ,gilbert 7not then knighted7 appears with a fine drawing1 ,the ,golden ,star2 ,j4 ,wolf1 honourably distinguished as an illustrator of animals1 is also represented4 ,for ,december #ahfb ,john ,gilbert provided a decorative composition of ,the ,ten ,virgins1 that is somewhat unlike his usual type4 ,in ,august #ahfe ,robert ,barnes appears for the first time with admirably drawn boys and girls full of health and characteristically ,british4 ,afterwards one finds many of his full pages all vigorous and delightfully true to the type he represents4 ,in ,august #ahff a group1 ,young ,cadets1 may be selected as a typical example of his strength and perhaps also of his limitations4 ,in #ahgj the falling off apparent everywhere is as noticeable in this unimportant publication as in those of far higher pretensions4 ,here1 as elsewhere1 the foreign clich appears1 or possibly the subjects were engraved specially1 and were not1 as was so often the case1 merely replicas of ,german and ,french engravings4 ,but all the same they are from oil-paintings1 not from drawings made for illustration4

',,leisure ,,hour' #ahff1 p4 #edj ,,the ,,day ,,of ,,atonement ,,the ,,leisure ,,hour ,the publications of the ,religious ,tract ,society have employed an enormous mass of illustrations1 but as the artist's name rarely appears at the period with which we are concerned1 either in the index of illustrations or below the engravings1 the task of tracing each to its source would be onerous and the result probably not worth the labour4 ,yet1 in the volumes of the ,leisure ,hour for the sixties1 there are a few noteworthy pictures which may later on attract collectors to a periodical which so far appealed more1 one had thought1 to parish workers than to art students4 ,the #ahfa volume starts with the #dgast number of the magazine1 illustrated by ',gilbert' 7probably ,sir ,john74 ,in #ahfc coloured plates are given monthly1 three being after originals by the same artist1 but1 although attributed duly in the advertising pages of its wrapper1 the name of the design does not appear in the index4 ,with #ahfd a surprise faces you in the illustrations to ,hurlock ,chase1 which are vigorous1 dramatic1 and excellently composed1 full of colour and breadth4 ,that they are by ,g4 ,du ,maurier internal evidence proves clearly1 but there is no formal recognition of the fact4 ,robert ,barnes has a full page1 ,granny's ,portrait 7p4 #hbe74 ,enoch ,arden is by 'an amateur whose name the publishers are not able to trace4'#d ,in #ahfe the illustrations to ,the ,awdries1 also unsigned1 are distinctly interesting2 later the well-known monogram of ,j4 ,mahoney is met with frequently4 ,in #ahff a series of ten illustrations of the ceremonies of modern ,jewish ritual1 domestic and ecclesiastical 7pp4 #gb1 #afg1 #baf1 #cbh1 #cgf-dge1 #edj1 #fjc1 #fec1 #hbc7 appear4 ,contrary to the rule usually observed here1 they are entitled1 'by ,s4 ,solomon4' ,these are1 so far as ,i know 7with four exceptions71 the only contributions to periodical literature by ,simeon ,solomon1 an artist who at this date bade fair to be one of the greatest pre-,raphaelite painters4 ,they are distinctly original both in their technical handling and composition1 and excellently engraved by ,butterworth and ,heath4 ,for their sake no collector of the sixties should overlook a book which is to be picked up anywhere at present4 ,the illustrations to ,the ,great ,van ,bruch property1 unsigned1 are most probably by ,j4 ,mahoney4 ,others include ,george ,,iii4 and ,mr4 ,adams1 a full page by ,c4 ,j4 ,staniland 7p4 #did72 a series of ,pen and ,pencil ,sketches among the ,outer ,hebrides1 ,r4 ,t4

,leisure ,hour in style and general arrangement1 is hardly of sufficient artistic interest to need detailed comment here4 ,started in #aheb it relied1 like its companion1 on ,gilbert and other less important draughtsmen4 ,in the sixties it was affected a little by the movement4 ,in #ahfc there is one design by ,g4 ,j4 ,pinwell1 ,the ,german ,band 7p4 #gec71 several by ,c4 ,green1 and one probably by ,du ,maurier 7p4 #eac71 who has also six most excellent drawings to ,the ,artist's ,son in the number for ,january1 and one each to short stories1 ,john ,henderson and ,siller and ,gowd1 later in the year4 ,a serial in #ahfe and one in #ahff are both illustrated by ,j4 ,mahoney2 and1 in the latter year1 ,w4 ,small supplies drawings to another story4 ,beyond a full page1 obviously by ,r4 ,barnes1 there is nothing else peculiarly interesting in #ahff2 in the #ahfg volume ,f4 ,w4 ,lawson and ,charles ,green contribute a good many designs4 ,in #ahfh ,s4 ,l4 ,fildes has one full page1 ,st4 ,bartholomew 7p4 #cbi71 and ,f4 ,a4 ,f4 appears2 in #ahfi ,charles ,green is frequently encountered1 but the magazine is not a very happy hunting-ground for our purpose4 ,,other ,,serial ,,publications ,serial issues of ,cassell's ,history of ,england1 the ,family ,bible1 and other profusely illustrated works might also repay a close search1 but1 as a rule1 the standard is too ordinary to attract any but an omnivorous collector4 ,still1 men of considerable talent are among the contributors1 7,sir7 ,john ,gilbert for instance1 and others like ,h4 ,c4 ,selous1 ,paolo ,priolo1 who never fell below a certain level of respectability4 ,golden ,hours1 a semi-religious monthly1 started in #ahfd as a penny magazine4 ,in #ahfh its price was raised to sixpence1 and among its artist-contributors we find ,m4 ,e4 ,edwards1 ,r4 ,barnes1 and ,a4 ,boyd ,houghton 7represented once only7 with ,an ,eastern ,wedding 7p4 #hdi74 ,in #ahfi ,towneley ,green1 ,c4 ,o4 ,murray1 and others appear1 but the magazine can hardly be ranked as one representative of the period4 ,nor is it essential to record in detail the mass of illustrations in the penny weeklies and monthlies--to do so were at once impossible and unnecessary2 nor the mass of semi-religious periodicals such as ,our ,own ,fireside and ,the ,parish ,magazine1 which rarely contain work that rises above the dull average4 ,,the ,,boys' ,,own ,,magazine ,the art of this once popular magazine may be dismissed very briefly4 ,j4 ,g4 ,thomson made a lot of designs to ,silas the ,conjuror and other serials4 ,r4 ,dudley1 a conscientious draughtsman whose speciality was medival subjects1 illustrated its historical romances with spirit and no little knowledge of archological details4 ,a4 ,w4 ,bayes1 ,j4 ,a4 ,pasquier1 and others adorned its pages2 but from #ahfc to its death it contains nothing interesting except to a very rabid collector4 ,,every ,,boy',s ,,magazine ,this well-intentioned periodical 7,routledge1 #ahfc1 etc471 except for certain early works by ,walter ,crane1 would scarce need mention here4 ,its wrapper for #ahfe onwards was from a capital design by ,walter ,crane1 who contributed coloured frontispieces and titles to the #ahfd and #ahfe volumes4 ,c4 ,h4 ,bennett illustrated his own romance of ,the ,young ,munchausen4 ,in #ahfg it called itself ,the ,young ,gentleman's ,magazine2 an heraldic design by ,j4 ,forbes ,nixon1 with the shields of the four great public schools1 replaced the ,crane cover4 ,t4 ,morten1 ,m4 ,w4 ,ridley1 and others contributed4 ,a4 ,boyd ,houghton illustrated ,barford ,bridge1 its serial for #ahff1 and ,walter ,crane performed the same offices to ,mrs4 ,henry ,wood's ,orville ,college in #ahfg4 ,these few facts seem to comprise all of any interest4 ,,aunt ,,judy',s ,,magazine ,the sixpenny magazine for children1 edited by ,mrs4 ,alfred ,gatty1 issued its first number1 ,may #ahff4 ,the artists who contributed include ,f4 ,gilbert1 ,j4

,randolph ,caldecott will be found4 ,in both cases the illustrations were for ,mrs4 ,ewing's popular stories1 which had so large a sale1 reprinted in volume-form4 ,neither in the drawings nor in their engraving do you find anything else which is above the average of its class4 ,two other magazines remain to be noticed out of their chronological order1 both of little intrinsic importance1 but of peculiar value to collectors4 ,,everybody',s ,,journal1 ,a weekly periodical the size of the ,london ,journal1 and not more attractive in its appearance1 nor better printed1 began with ,no4 #a1 ,october #a1 #ahei1 and ceased to exist early in the following year2 probably before the end of ,january1 since the ,british ,museum copy in monthly parts is inscribed 'discontinued' on the part containing the ,december issues4 ,that a complete set is not in our great reference library is a matter for regret2 for the first published illustration by ,fred ,walker1 which was issued in ,everybody's ,journal1 ,january #ad1 must needs have been in the missing numbers4 ,those which are accessible include drawings by 7,sir7 ,john ,gilbert1 ,t4 ,morten1 and ,harrison ,weir1 none of peculiar interest4 ,among the names of the contributors will be found several that have since become widely known4 ,,entertaining ,,things ,this twopenny monthly magazine1 which is probably as unfamiliar to those who read this notice as it was to me until a short time since1 was published by ,virtue and ,co41 the first number appearing in ,january #ahfa4 ,it contains many designs by ,j4 ,portch1 ,f4 ,j4 ,skill1 ,m4 ,s4 ,morgan1 ,e4 ,weedar1 ,w4 ,m',connell1 ,p4 ,justyne1 and ,w4 ,j4 ,linton1 none being particularly well engraved4 ,but it contains also ,walter ,crane's first published drawing--a man in the coils of a serpent 7p4 #cbg71 illustrating one of a series of articles1 ,among the ,mahogany ,cutters1 which is not very important2 another a few pages further on in the volume is even less so4 ,collectors will also prize ,a ,nocturne by ,g4 ,du ,maurier1 and some designs by ,t4 ,morton 7sic74 ,the ,christmas number contains a delightful design by ,a4 ,boyd ,houghton1 ,the ,maid of the ,wool-pack1 and another drawing by ,du ,maurier4 ,the publication ceased1 according to a note in the ,british ,museum copy1 in ,may #ahfb4 ,among rarities of the sixties this magazine may easily take a high place1 for one doubts if there are many copies in existence4 ,should the mania for collecting grow1 it is quite possible this volume1 of such slight intrinsic value1 will command record prices4 ,,beeton',s ,,annuals ,these were of two sorts1 a badly printed shilling annual1 which appealed to children of all ages1 and a six-shilling variety1 which appealed to those of a smaller growth4 ,in the higher-priced volumes for #ahff ,t4 ,morten1 ,j4 ,g4 ,thomson1 and ,j4 ,a4 ,pasquier appear4 ,in the shilling issue1 an independent publication1 are more or less execrably engraved blocks1 after ,c4 ,h4 ,bennett1 ,g4 ,cruikshank1 ,jun41 and others who would probably dislike to have their misdeeds chronicled4 ,these publications added to the gaiety of nations1 but when they ceased no eclipse was reported4 ,yet a patient collation of their pages renewed a certain boyish1 if faded1 memory of their pristine charm1 which the most cautious prophet may assert can never be imparted anew to any reader4 ,kingston's ,annuals and ,peter ,parley's ,annuals1 also revisited1 left impressions too sad to be expressed here4 ,nor need ,routledge's ,christmas ,annuals be noticed in detail4 ,tom ,hood's ,comic ,annuals1 which contained much work typical of the seventies1 although it began its long career in #ahfi1 includes so little work by heroes of the 'sixties' that it need not be mentioned4 ,the mass of penny magazines for children do not repay a close search4 ,here and there you will find a design by a notable hand1 but it is almost invariably ruined by poor engraving2 so that it were kinder not to attempt to dispel the obscurity which envelops the juvenile 'goody-goody' literature of thirty years ago4 ,illustration3 ,g4 ,,du ,,maurier ',,punch4' ,,march #c1 #ahff

its own pages could offer a fairly representative group of the work of any decade since it was established2 a paper which1 if it has not attracted every great illustrator1 could nevertheless select a hundred drawings from its pages that might be fairly entered in competition with any other hundred outside them4 ,but1 at the same time1 to give a summary of its record during the sixties1 even as compressed as those of ,the ,cornhill ,magazine1 ,once a ,week1 etc41 would occupy more pages than all the rest put together4 ,fortunately the labour has been accomplished quite recently4 ,mr4 ,m4 ,h4 ,spielmann's ,history of ,punch supplies a full and admirably digested chronicle of its artistic achievements4 ,so that here 7excluding the staff-artists1 ,sir ,john ,tenniel1 ,mr4 ,du ,maurier1 ,mr4 ,linley ,sambourne1 and the rest1 and the greatest ,punch artist1 ,charles ,keene1 who was never actually upon its staff7 it will be sufficient to indicate where admirers of the men of the sixties may

within the classic pages is too familiar to need more than passing reference4 ,the first drawing by ',george ,louis ,palmella ,busson ,du ,maurier' appears in #ahfj1 the ,legend of ,camelot1 with five drawings1 which are already historic1 in #ahff4 ,these delicious parodies 7here reproduced7 of the pre-,raphaelite manner are as fascinating to-day as when they first appeared4 ,,fun ,this popular humorous penny weekly1 which is still running1 would be forever memorable as the birthplace of the famous ,bab ballads1 with ,w4 ,s4 ,gilbert's own thumb-nail sketches3 yet it would be foolish to rank him as an illustrator1 despite the grotesque humour of these inimitable little figures4 ,the periodical1 not 7,i believe7 at first under the editorship of ,tom ,hood1 the younger1 began in ,september #ba1 #ahfa4 ,the mass of illustrations must be the only excuse for failing to include an orderly summary2 yet there is not1 and there is certainly no necessity for1 an elaborate chronicle of the paper1 like ,mr4 ,spielmann's admirable monograph in ,punch4 ,but those who are curious to discover the work of less-known men of the sixties will find plenty to reward their search4 ,a clever parody of ,millais' pre-,raphaelite manner is given as a tail-piece to the preface of vol4 i4 ,a4 ,boyd ,houghton supplied the cartoons for a short period1 ,november #ahff to ,april #f1 #ahfg4 ,at least those signed ,a4 ,h4 are attributed to him1 and the first would almost suffice by itself to decide it1 did any doubt exist4 ,another cartoonist1 who signed his work with the device of a hen1 is very freely represented4 ,f4 ,barnard was also cartoonist for a long time--#ahfi onwards--and ,j4 ,g4 ,thomson1 for a score of years1 did excellent work in the same department4 ,the authorship of many of the drawings scattered through its pages is easily recognised by their style--others1 as for instance one on page five of the ,almanac for #ahff1 puzzle the student4 ,it looks like a ,paul ,gray1 but

field to discover the work of young artists who afterwards become approximately great1 ,fun is not a very happy hunting-ground4 ,despite some notable exceptions1 its illustrators cannot be placed even upon the average of the period that concerns us2 the presence of a half a dozen or so of first-rate men hardly makes a set of the comic paper essential to a representative collection4 ,after renewed intimacy with its pages there is a distinct feeling of disappointment4 ,that its drawings pleased you mightily1 and seemed fine stuff at the time1 may be true2 but it only proves that the enjoyment of a schoolboy cannot be recaptured in after-life if the quality of the drawing be too poor to sustain the weight of old-fashioned dress and jokes whose first sparkle has dimmed beyond restoration4 ,,judy1 ,the twopenny rival to ,punch1 began life on ,may #a1 #ahfg4 ,although ,matt ,morgan supplied many of the early cartoons and 'socials1' the really admirable level it reached in the eighties is not foreshadowed even dimly by its first volumes4 ,with vol4 ii4 ,j4 ,proctor1 an admirable draughtsman1 despite his fondness for the decisive1 unsympathetic line which ,sir ,john ,tenniel has accustomed us to consider part and parcel of a political cartoon1 is distinctly one of the best men who have worked this particular form of satire4 ,afterwards ',w4 ,b4' contributed many4 ,the mass of work1 in the volumes which can be considered as belonging to the period covered by this book1 contains hardly a single drawing to repay the weary hunt through their pages4 ,yet the issues of a later decade are as certain to be prized by students of the 'eighties' as the best periodicals of the sixties are by devotees of that period4 ,,punch ,,and ,,judy1 ,beginning in ,october #ahfi1 yet another paper on similar lines1 ran a short but interesting career of twelve weeks1 and continued1 in a commonplace way1 for a year or two longer4 ,the reason the first dozen issues are worth notice here is that the illustrations are all by 'graphotype process' 7which must not be confused with the far earlier 'glyptography'71 and so appeal to students of the technique of illustration4 ,the principle of the graphotype process1 it is said1 was discovered accidentally4 ,the inventor was removing1 with a wet camel-hair brush1 the white enamel from the face of a visiting-card1 when he noticed that the printing on it was left in distinct relief4 ,after many experiments the idea was developed1 and a surface of metal was covered with a powdered chalky substance1 upon which the drawing was made with a silicate ink which hardened the substance wherever it was applied4 ,the chalk was then brushed away and the drawing left in low but distinct relief on the metal-plate1 from which electrotypes could be taken in the usual way4 ,the experiment gained some commercial success1 and quite a notable group of artists experimented with it for designs to an edition of ,dr4 ,isaac ,watts's ,divine and ,moral ,songs1 a most curious libretto for an artistic venture4 ,in ,punch and ,judy the blocks are by no means bad as regards their reproduction4 ,despite the very mediocre drawing of the originals1 they are nevertheless preferable to the cheap wood-engravings of their contemporaries4 ,after its change1 ',g4 ,o4 ,m4' 7if one reads the initials aright71 or ',c4 ,o4 ,m41'contributes some average cartoons4 ,when it first appeared1 at least one schoolboy was struck with the curious difference of technique that the illustrations showed1 and from that time onwards had his curiosity aroused towards process-work4 ,therefore1 this lapse into anecdotage1 in the short record of a venture otherwise artistically unworthy to be noticed here1 may be pardoned4 ,,will ,o' ,,the ,,wisp ,this1 another periodical of the same class1 started on ,september #ab1 #ahfh1 but unlike its fellows relied at first solely upon a double-page political cartoon4 ,from the second number these were contributed by ,j4 ,proctor until and after ,april #ag1 #ahfi1 when other pictures were admitted4 ,with the #cast of ,july another hand replaces ,proctor's vigorous work4 ,the volume for #ahgj contains many woodcuts 7,i use the word advisedly71 unintentionally primitive1 that should please a certain school to-day4 ,whether the journal ceased with its fourth volume1 or lasted into the seventies1 the ,british ,museum catalogue does not record1 nor is it worth while to pursue the inquiry further4 ,,the ,,illustrated ,,london ,,news ,to notice this important paper in a paragraph is little better than an insult1 and yet between a full monograph 7already anticipated partially in ,mr4 ,mason ,jackson's ,the ,pictorial ,press7 and a bare mention there is no middle course4 ,as a rule the drawings are unsigned1 and not attributed to the artists in the index4 ,the ,christmas numbers1 however1 often adopt a different method1 and print the draughtsman's name below each engraving1 which is almost always a full page4 ,in that for #ahfe we find ,alfred ,hunt1 ,george ,thomas1 ,s4 ,read1 and ,john ,gilbert1 all regular contributors1 well represented4 ,in the ,christmas number of #ahff there is ,boyd ,houghton's ,child's ,christmas ,carol1 and other drawings by ,corbould1 ,s4 ,read1 ,j4 ,a4 ,pasquier1 ,charles ,green1 ,matt ,morgan1 and ,c4 ,h4 ,bennett4 ,,other ,,illustrated ,,weeklies ,the ,illustrated ,times1 first issued in ,october #ahee1 maintained a long and honourable effort to achieve popularity4 ,a new series was started in #ahfg1 but apparently also failed to gain a footing4 ,the artists included many men mentioned frequently in this volume4 ,the non-topical illustrations occasionally introduced were supplied chiefly by ,m4 ,e4 ,edwards1 ,adelaide and ,florence ,claxton1 ,lieut4 ,seccombe1 ,p4 ,skelton1 and ,t4 ,sulman4 ,yet a search through its pages revealed nothing sufficiently important to notice in detail4 ,the ,illustrated ,weekly ,news and ,the ,penny ,illustrated ,weekly ,news are other lost causes1 but the ,penny ,illustrated ,paper1 which started in #ahfa1 is still a flourishing concern2 yet it would be superfluous to give a detailed notice of its work4 ,pan 7date uncertain#e71 a short-lived sixpenny weekly4 ,its cover was from a design by ,jules ,chret4 ,facsimiles of ,a ,head by ,lord ,leighton1 and ,proud ,maisie by ,frederick ,sandys1 appeared among its supplements4 ,,the ,,graphic ,that this admirably conducted illustrated weekly revolutionised ,english illustration is granted on all sides4 ,its influence for good or ill was enormous4 ,with its first number1 published on ,december #d1 #ahfi1 we find a definite1 official date to close the record of the 'sixties'2 one by mere chance1 chronologically as well as technically1 appropriate4 ,of course the break was not so sudden as this arbitrary limit might suggest4 ,the style which distinguished the ,graphic had been gradually prepared before1 and if ,mr4 ,william ,small is credited with the greatest share in its development1 such a statement1 incomplete as most generalities must needs be1 holds a good part of the truth1 if not the whole4 ,the work of ,mr4 ,small introduced new qualities into wood-engraving2 which1 in his hands and those of the best of his followers1 grew to be meritorious1 and must needs place him with those who legitimately extended the domain of the art of drawing for the engraver4 ,but to discuss the style which succeeded that of the sixties would be to trespass on new ground1 and that while the field itself is all too scantily searched4 ,mr4 ,ruskin dubbed the new style 'blottesque1' but1 as we have seen1 he was hardly more enamoured of the manner that immediately preceded it4 ,many of the surviving heroes of the sixties contributed to the ,graphic4 ,charles ,green appears in vol4 i4 with ,irish ,emigrants1 ,g4 ,j4 ,pinwell with ,the ,lost ,child 7,january #h1 #ahgj71 ,a4 ,boyd ,houghton has a powerful

of names1 some already mentioned frequently in this book1 bore the weight of the new enterprise4 ,but a cursory sketch of the famous periodical would do injustice to it4 ,the historian of the seventies will find it takes the place of ,once a ,week as the happy hunting-ground for the earliest work of many a popular draughtsman and painter--that is to say1 the earliest work after his student and experimental efforts4 ,to declare that it still flourishes1 and with the ,daily ,graphic1 its offspring1 keeps still ahead of the popular average1 is at once bare truth and the highest compliment which need be paid4 ,the illustrated weeklies in the sixties were almost as unimportant1 relatively speaking1 as are the illustrated dailies to-day4 ,yet to say that the weeklies did fair to monopolise illustration at the present time is a common truth1 and1 remembering what the ,daily ,graphic and the ,daily ,chronicle have already accomplished1 to infer that the dailies will do likewise before #aijj has attained its majority is a prophecy that is based upon a study of the past4 ,,chapter ,,vii3 ,,some ,,illustrated ,,books ,,of ,,the ,,period ,,before #ahfj ,to draw up a complete list1 with the barest details of title1 artist1 author1 and publisher of the books in the period with which this volume is concerned would be unnecessary1 and well-nigh impossible4 ,the ,english ,catalogue1 #ahfc-ahgb1 covering but a part of the time1 claims to give some #cj1jjj entries4 ,many1 possibly a large majority1 of these books are not illustrated2 but on the other hand1 the current periodicals not included contain thousands of pictures4 ,the following chapters cannot even claim to mention every book worth the collector's notice1 and refer hardly at all to many which seemed to the compiler to represent merely the commercial average of their time4 ,whether this was better or worse than the commercial average to-day is of no moment4 ,nearly all of the books mentioned have been referred to personally1 and the facts reported at first hand4 ,in spite of taxing the inexhaustible courtesy of the officials of the ,british ,museum to the extent of eighty or more volumes during a single afternoon1 ,i cannot pretend to have seen the whole output of the period1 for it is not easy to learn from the catalogue those particulars that are needed to identify which books are illustrated4 ,so far as we are concerned here1 the interest of the book lies solely in its illustrations1 but the catalogue may not even record the fact that it contains any1 much less attribute them to their author4 ,of those in which the artist's share has been recognised by the publisher in his announcements1 ,i have done my best to find the first edition of each4 ,by dint of patient wading through the advertisements1 and review columns of literary journals1 trade periodicals1 and catalogues1 a good many have turned up which had otherwise escaped notice2 although for the last twenty years at least ,i have never missed an opportunity of seeing every illustrated book of the sixties1 with a view to this chronicle1 which had been shaping itself1 if not actually begun1 long before any work on modern ,english illustrators had appeared4 ,when a school-boy ,i made a collection of examples of the work of each artist whose style ,i had learned to recognise1 and some of that material gathered together so long ago has been of no little use now4 ,these personal reminiscences are not put forward by way of magnifying the result2 but rather to show that even with so many years' desultory preparation the digesting and classification of the various facts has proved too onerous4 ,a staff of qualified assistants under a capable director would be needed to accomplish the work as thoroughly as ,mr4 ,sidney ,lee has accomplished a not dissimilar1 if infinitely more important1 task--,the ,dictionary of ,national ,biography4 ,a certain proportion of errors must needs creep in1 and the possible errors of omission are even more to be dreaded than those of commission4 ,a false date1 or an incorrect reference to a given book or illustration1 is easily corrected by a later worker in the same field2 but an omission may possibly escape another student of the subject as it escaped me4 ,as a rule1 in a majority of cases--so large that it is practically ninety-nine per cent41 if not more--the notes have been made side by side with the publication to which they refer4 ,but in transcribing hasty jottings errors are apt to creep in1 and despite the collation of these pages when in proof by other hands1 ,i cannot flatter myself that they are impeccable4 ,for experience shows that you never open the final printed text of any work under your control as editor or author1 but errors1 hitherto overlooked1 instantly jump from the page and force themselves on your notice4 ,an editor of one of the most widely circulated of all our magazines confesses that he has made it a rule never to glance at any number after it was published4 ,he had too often suffered the misery of being confronted with obvious errors of fact and taste which no amount of patient care on his part 7and he is a most conscientious workman7 had discovered1 until it was too late to rectify them4 ,in the matter of dates alone a difficulty meets one at first sight4 ,many books dated one year were issued several months before the previous ,christmas1 and are consequently advertised and reviewed in the year before the date which appears upon their title-page4 ,again1 many books1 and some volumes of magazines 7,messrs4 ,cassell and ,co4's publications to wit71 bear no date4 ',women and books should never be dated' is a proverb as foolish as it is widely known4 ,yet all the same1 inaccuracy of a few months is of little importance in this context2 a book or a picture does not cease to exist as soon as it is born1 like the performance of an actor or a musician4 ,consequently1 beyond its relative place as evidence of the development or decline of the author's talent1 it is not of great moment whether a book was issued in #ahfi or #ahgj1 whether a drawing was published in ,january or ,february4 ,but for those who wish to refer to the subjects noted1 the information has been made as exact as circumstances permitted4 ,when1 however1 a book has been reissued in a second1 or later edition1 with no reference to earlier issues1 it is tempting to accept the date on its title-page without question4 ,one such volume ,i traced back from #ahfh to #ahdi1 and for all ,i know the original may have been issued some years earlier2 for the ,british ,museum library is not complete2 every collector can point with pride to a few books on his shelves which he has failed to discover in its voluminous catalogue4 ,to select a definite moment to start from is not easy1 nor to keep rigidly within the time covered by the dates upon the cover of this book4 ,it is necessary to glance briefly at some work issued before #ahee1 and yet it would be superfluous to re-traverse ground already well covered in ,the ,history of ,wood ,engraving1 by ,chatto and ,jackson1 with its supplementary chapter by ,h4 ,g4 ,bohn 7in the #ahfa edition71 in ,mr4 ,w4 ,j4 ,linton's ,masterpieces of ,engraving1 in ,mr4 ,joseph ,pennell's two sumptuous editions of ,pen ,drawing and ,pen ,draughtsmen 7,macmillan71 and the same author's ,modern ,illustrations 7,bell71 not to mention the many admirable papers read before learned societies by ,messrs4 ,w4 ,j4 ,linton1 ,comyns ,carr1 ,henry ,blackburn1 ,walter ,crane1 ,william ,morris1 and others4 ,still less is it necessary to attempt to indorse their arguments in favour of wood-engraving against process1 or to repeat those which support the opposite view4 ,so that here1 in the majority of cases1 the question of the engraver's share has not been considered4 ,mr4 ,pennell1 for one1 has done this most thoroughly1 and has put the case for process so strongly1 that if any people yet believe a wood-engraving is always something sacred1 while a good process block of line work is a mere feeble substitute1 there is little hope of convincing them4 ,here the result has been the chief concern4 ,the object of these notes is not to prove what wood-engraving ruined1 or what might or ought to have been1 but merely to record what it achieved1 without too frequent expression of regret1 which nevertheless will intrude as the dominant feeling when you study many of the works executed by even the better class wood-engravers4 ,one must not overlook the very obvious fact that1 in the earlier years1 an illustration was a much more serious affair for all concerned than it is to-day4 ,in ,jackson's ,pictorial ,press we find the author says3 ',illustration was so seldom used that the preparation of even a small woodcut was of much moment to all concerned4 ,i have heard ,william ,harvey relate that when ,whittingham1 the well-known printer1 wanted a new cut for his ,chiswick ,press ,series1 he would write to ,harvey and ,john ,thompson1 the engraver1 appointing a meeting at ,chiswick1 when printer1 designer1 and engraver talked over the matter with as much deliberation as if about to produce a costly national monument4 ,and after they had settled all points over a snug supper1 the result of their labours was the production a month afterwards of a woodcut measuring perhaps two inches by three4 ,at that time perhaps only a dozen persons besides ,bewick were practising the art of wood-engraving in ,england4' ,but this preamble does not seek to excuse the meagre record it prefaces4 ,a complete bibliography of such a fecund illustrator as ,sir ,john ,gilbert would need a volume to itself4 ,to draw up detailed lists of all the various drawings in ,the ,illustrated ,london ,news1 ,punch1 and other prominent weeklies1 would be a task needing almost as much co-operation as ,dr4 ,murray's great ,dictionary4 ,the subject1 if it proves to be sufficiently attractive1 will doubtless be done piece by piece by future workers4 ,i envy each his easy pleasure of pointing out the shortcomings of this work1 for no keener joy awaits the maker of a handbook than gibbeting his predecessors1 and showing by implication how much more trustworthy is his record than theirs4 ,illustration3 ,d4 ,g4 ,,rossetti ',,the ,,music-,,master' ,,by ,,william ,,allingham #ahee ,,the ,,maids ,,of ,,elfenmere ,few artistic movements are so sharply defined that their origin can be traced to a particular moment1 although some can be attributed more or less to the influence of one man4 ,even the pre-,raphaelite movement1 clearly distinct as its origin appears at first glance1 should not be dated from the formal draft of the little coterie1 ,january #acth1 #ahea1 for1 as ,mr4 ,w4 ,m4 ,rossetti writes1 ',the rules show or suggest not only what we intended to do1 but what had been occupying our attention since #ahdh4 ,the day when we codified proved also to be the day when no code was really in requisition4' ,nor has the autumn #ahdh any better claim to be taken as the exact moment1 for one cannot overlook the fact that there was ,ford ,madox ,brown1 a pre-,raphaelite1 long before the pre-,raphaelites1 and that ,ruskin had published the first volume of ,modern ,painters4 ,there can be little doubt that it was the influence of the so-called pre-,raphaelites and those in closest sympathy with them1 which awakened a new interest in illustration1 and so prepared the ground for the men of the sixties2 but to confine our notice from #aheg to #ahfg--;a far more accurate period--would be to start without sufficient reference to the work superseded by or absorbed into the later movement4 ,so we must glance at a few of the books which preceded both the ,music-master of #ahee and the ,tennyson of #aheg1 either volume1 the latter especially1 being an excellent point whence to reckon more precisely 'the golden decade of ,british ,art1' as ,mr4 ,pennell terms it so happily4 ,without going back too far for our purpose1 one of the first books that contains illustrations by artists whose work extended into the sixties 7and1 in the case of ,tenniel1 far beyond7 is ,poems and ,pictures1 ',a ,collection of ,ballads1 ,songs1 and ,poems illustrated by ,english ,artists' 7,burns1 #ahdf74 ,so often was it reprinted that it came as a surprise to discover the first edition was fourteen years earlier than the date which is upon my own copy4 ,despite the ornamental borders to each page1 and many other details which stamp it as old-fashioned1 it does not require a rabid apologist of the past to discuss it appreciatively4 ,from the first design by ,c4 ,w4 ,cope1 to the last1 ,a ,storm at ,sea1 by ,e4 ,duncan1 both engraved by ,w4 ,j4 ,linton1 there is no falling off in the quality of the work4 ,the influence of ,mulready is discernible1 and it seems probable that certain pencil drawings for the ,vicar of ,wakefield1 engraved in facsimile--so far as was within the power of the craftsmen at that time--did much to shape the manner of book-illustrations in the fifties4 ,nor does it betray want of sympathy with the artists who were thus influenced to regret that they chose to imitate drawings not intended for illustration1 and ignored in very many cases the special technique which employs the most direct expression of the material4 ,in ,the ,mourner1 by ,j4 ,c4 ,horsley 7p4 #bb71 you feel that the engraver 7,thompson7 has done his best to imitate the softly defined line of a pencil in place of the clearly accentuated line which is most natural in wood4 ,yet even in this there is scarcely a trace of that elaborate cross-hatching so easily produced in plate-engraving or pen drawing1 so tedious to imitate in wood4 ,another design1 ,time1 by ,c4 ,w4 ,cope 7p4 #hh71 shows that the same engraver could produce work of quite another class when it was required4 ,curiously enough1 these two1 picked at random1 reappear in almost the last illustrated anthology mentioned in these chapters1 ,cassell's ,sacred ,poems 7#ahfg74 ,several books earlier in date1 including ,de la ,motte ,fouqu's ,undine1 with eleven drawings by ',j4 ,tenniel1 ,junr4' 7,burns1 #ahdf71 and ,sintram and his ,companions1 with designs by ,h4 ,s4 ,selous and a frontispiece after ,drer's ,the ,knight and ,death need only be mentioned4 ,the ,juvenile ,verse and ,picture ,book 7,burns1 #ahdh71 with many illustrations by ,gilbert1 ,tenniel1 ',r4 ,cruikshank1' ,weigall1 and ,w4 ,b4 ,scott1 which was reissued with altered text as ,gems of ,national ,poetry 7,warne1 #ahfh71 and sop's ,fables 7,murray1 #ahdh71 with #ajj illustrations by ,tenniel1 deserve a bare mention4 ,nor should ,the ',bon ,gaultier' ,ballads 7,blackwood1 #ahdi7 be forgotten4 ,the illustrations by ,doyle1 ,leech1 and ,crowquill were enormously popular in their day1 and although the style of humour which still keeps many of the ballads alive has been frequently imitated since1 and rarely excelled1 yet its drawings have often been equalled and surpassed1 humorous although they are1 of their sort4 ,the ,salamandrine1 a poem by ,charles ,mackay1 issued in a small quarto 7,ingram1 ,cooke1 and ,co41 #ahec71 with forty-six designs by ,john ,gilbert1 is one of the early volumes by the more fecund illustrators of the century4 ,it is too late in the day to praise the veteran whose paintings are as familiar to frequenters of the ,royal ,academy now as were his drawings when the ,great ,exhibition entered a formal claim for the recognition of ,british ,art4 ,honoured here and upon the ,continent1 it is needless to eulogise an artist whom all agree to admire4 ,the prolific invention which never failed is not more evident in this book than in a hundred others decorated by his facile pencil1 yet it reveals--as any one of the rest must equally--the powerful mastery of his art1 and its limitations4 ,thomson's ,seasons1 illustrated by the ,etching ,club 7#aheb71 ,s4 ,c4 ,hall's ,book of ,british ,ballads 7#aheb71 an edition of ,the ,arabian ,nights1 with #fjj illustrations by ,w4

the fifties--may also be dismissed without comment4 ,about the same time the great mental sedative of the period--,tupper's ,proverbial ,philosophy 7,hatchard1 #ahed7--was reprinted in a stately quarto1 with sixty-two illustrations by ,c4 ,w4 ,cope1 ,r4,a41 ,e4 ,h4 ,corbould1 ,birket ,foster1 ,john ,gilbert1 ,j4 ,c4 ,horsley1 ,f4 ,r4 ,pickersgill and others1 engraved for the most part by ',dalziel ,bros4' and ,h4 ,vizetelly4 ,the dull1 uninspired text seems to have depressed the imagination of the artists4 ,despite the notable array of names1 there is no drawing of more than average interest in the volume1 except perhaps ,to-morrow 7p4 #bjf71 by ,f4 ,r4 ,pickersgill1 which is capitally engraved by ,dalziel and much broader in its style than the rest4 ,poems by ,henry ,wadsworth ,longfellow 7,david ,bogue1 #ahed7 appears to be the earliest ,english illustrated edition of any importance of a volume that has been frequently illustrated since4 ,this book is uniform with the ,poetical ,works of ,john ,milton with #abj engravings by ,thompson1 ,williams1 etc41 from drawings by ,w4 ,harvey1 ,the ,works of ,william ,cowper with seventy-five illustrations engraved by ,j4 ,orrin ,smith from drawings by ,john ,gilbert2 ,thomson's ,seasons with illustrations 'drawn and engraved by ,samuel ,williams1' and ,beattie and ,collins' ,poems with engravings by the same hand from designs by ,john ,absolon4 ,the title-page of the ,longfellow says it is illustrated by ',jane ,e4 ,benham1 ,birket ,foster1 etc4' ,it is odd to find the not very elegant1 'etc4' stands for ,john ,gilbert and ,e4 ,wehnert1 also to note that the engravers have in each of the above volumes taken precedence of the draughtsman4 ,except that we miss the pre-,raphaelite group for which we prize the ,moxon ,tennyson to-day1 the ideal of these books is very nearly the same as of that volume4 ,this edition of ,longfellow must not be confused with another1 a quarto1 issued the following year 7,routledge1 #ahee71 'with over one hundred designs drawn by ,john ,gilbert and engraved by the brothers ,dalziel4' ,this notable instance of the variety and inventive power of the artist also shows 7in the night pieces especially1 pp4 #ac1 #cfj71 that the engraver was trying to advance in the direction of 'tone' and atmospheric effect2 and endeavouring to give the effect of a 'wash' rather than of a line drawing or the imitation of a steel engraving4 ,this tendency1 which was not the chief purpose of the work of the sixties1 in the seventies carried the technicalities of the craft to its higher achievements1 or1 as some enthusiasts prefer to regard it1 to its utter ruin1 so that the photographic process-block could beat it on its own ground4 ,but these opposite views have been threshed out often enough without bringing the parties concerned nearer together to encourage a new attempt to reconcile the opposing factions4 ,the ,longfellow of #ahee was reissued with the addition of ,hiawatha in #ahef4 ,another edition of ,hiawatha1 illustrated by ,g4 ,h4 ,thomas1 issued about this time1 contains some of his best work4 ,allingham's ,music-master 7,routledge1 #ahee7 is so often referred to in this narrative that its mere name must suffice in this context4 ,but1 as the book itself is so scarce1 a sentence from its preface may be quoted3 ',those excellent painters' 7writes ,mr4 ,allingham71 'who on my behalf have submitted their genius to the risks of wood-engraving1 will1 ,i hope1 pardon me for placing a sincere word of thanks in the book they have honoured with this evidence through art of their varied fancy4' ,to this year belongs also ,the ,task1 illustrated by ,birket ,foster 7,nisbet1 #ahee74 ,eliza ,cook's ,poems 7,routledge1 #ahef7 is another sumptuously

enlargement in lantern slides1 when ,mr4 ,pennell showed them at his lectures on the men of the sixties2 had ,w4 ,t4 ,green engraved no other blocks1 he might be ranked as a great craftsman on the evidence of these alone4 ,in ,george ,herbert's ,poetical ,works 7,nisbet1 #ahef71 with designs by ,birket ,foster1 ,john ,clayton1 and ,h4 ,n4 ,humphreys1 notwithstanding the vitality of the text1 the drawings are sicklied over with the pale cast of religious sentimentality which has ruined so much religious art in ,england4 ,a draughtsman engaged on ,new ,testament subjects of that time rarely forgot ,overbeck1 ,raphael1 or still more 'pretty' masters4 ,in the religious illustrations of the period many landscapes are included1 some of them exquisite transcripts of ,english scenery1 others of the ',oriental' order dear to the ,annuals4 ,the delightful description of one of these imaginary scenes1 by ,leland1 ',hans ,breitmann1' will come to mind1 when he says of its artist that ',all his work expanded with expensive fallacies1 ,castles1 towered walls1 pavilions1 real-estately palaces4 ,in the foreground lofty palm-trees1 as if full of soaring love1 ,bore up cocoa-nuts and monkeys to the smiling heavens above2 ,jet-black ,indian chieftains--at their feet1 too1 lovely girls were sighing1 ,with an elephant beyond them1 here and there a casual lion4' ,george ,herbert the incomparable may be hard to illustrate1 but1 if the task is attempted1 it should be in any way but this delineation of pretty landscapes1 with 'here and there a casual lion4' ,this reflection upon the mildly sacred compositions of 'gift-book' art generally1 although provoked by this volume1 is applicable to nearly every one of its fellows4 ,in ,rhymes and ,roundelays1 illustrated by ,birket ,foster 7,bogue1 #ahef71 the designs are not without a trace of artificiality1 but it contains also some of the earliest and best examples of a most accomplished draughtsman1 and in it many popular blocks began a long career of 'starring1' until from guinea volumes some were used ultimately in children's primers and the like4 ,the ,works of ,william ,shakespeare illustrated by ,john ,gilbert 7,routledge1 #ahef-h7 will doubtless be remembered always as his masterpiece4 ,at a public dinner lately1 an artist who had worked with ,sir ,john ,gilbert on the ,illustrated ,london ,news1 and in nearly all the books of the period illustrated by the group of draughtsmen with whom both are associated1 spoke of his marvellous rapidity--a double-page drawing done in a single night4 ,yet so sure is his touch that in the mass of these hundreds of designs to ,shakespeare you are not conscious of any scamping4 ,without being archologically impeccable1 they suggest the types and costumes of the periods they deal with1 and1 above all1 represent embodiments of actual human beings4 ,they stand apart from the grotesque caricatures of an earlier school1 and the academic inanities of both earlier and later methods4 ,virile and full of invention1 the book is a monument to an artist who has done so much that it is a pleasure to discover some one definite accomplishment that from size alone may be taken as his masterpiece1 if merely as evidence that praise1 scantily bestowed elsewhere1 is limited by space only4 ,illustration3 ,,ford ,,madox ,,brown ,,willmott',s ',,poets ,,of ,,the

the ,lay of the ,last ,minstrel1 appear to have been published previously2 but to ascertain their exact date of issue1 the three bulky volumes of the ,british ,museum catalogue devoted to ',scott 7,walter7' can hardly be faced with a light heart4 ,this year saw an edition of ,bunyan's ,pilgrim's ,progress with outline drawings by ,j4 ,r4 ,clayton1 who is sometimes styled ',j4 ,r41' and sometimes ',john4' ,an illustrated guinea edition of a once popular 'goody' book1 ,ministering ,children1 with designs by ,birket ,foster and ,h4 ,le ,jeune 7,nisbet1 #ahef71 an edition of ,edgar

,clayton1 engraved by ,edward ,evans1 ,dalziel ,brothers1 ,h4 ,n4 ,woods1 and ,john ,green4 ,a block by ,dalziel1 after ,clayton1 on page #ai1 shows a good example of the white line1 used horizontally1 for the modelling of flesh1 somewhat in the way1 as ,pannemaker employed it so effectively in many of ,gustave ,dor's illustrations years after4 ,the twenty-seven ,birket ,fosters are full of the special charm that his work possesses1 and show once again how a great artist may employ a method1 which1 merely 'pretty' in inferior hands1 has something of greatness when he touches it4 ,in the next year appeared the famous ',poems by ,alfred ,tennyson1 ,d4,c4,l41 ,poet-,laureate4 ,london4 ,edward ,moxon1 ,dover ,st41 #aheg4' ,not even the bare fact that it was illustrated appears on the title-page4 ,as the book has been re-issued lately in a well-printed edition1 a detailed list of its contents is hardly necessary2 nor need any of the illustrations be reproduced here4 ,it will suffice to say that ,dante ,gabriel ,rossetti is represented by five designs to ,the ,lady of ,shallott 7p4 #ge71 ,mariana 7p4 #hb71 ,palace of ,art 7pp4 #aac-aai71 ,sir ,galahad 7p4 #cje72 ,millais

pre-,raphaelite ,illustrators 7,stock1 #ahid71 embodies a quantity of interesting facts1 with many deductions therefrom which are not so valuable4 ,in the books about ,rossetti and the pre-,raphaelites1 and their name is legion1 this volume has rarely escaped more or less notice1 so that one hesitates to add to the mass of criticism already bestowed4 ,the whole modern school of decorative illustrators regard it rightly enough as the genesis of the modern movement2 but all the same it is only the accidental presence of ,d4 ,g4 ,rossetti1 ,holman ,hunt1 and ,millais1 which entitles it to this position4 ,it satisfies no decorative ideal as a piece of book-making4 ,except for these few drawings1 it differs in no respect from the average 'quarto poets' before and after4 ,the same 'toned' paper1 the same vignetted pictures1 appear2 the proportions of the type-page are merely that in ordinary use2 the size and shape of the illustrations was left apparently to pure chance4 ,therefore1 in place of talking of the volume with bated breath as a masterpiece1 it would be wiser to regard it as one of the excellent publications of the period1 that by the fortuitous inclusion of a few drawings1 quite out of touch with the rest1 has acquired a reputation1 which1 considered as a complete book1 it does not deserve4 ,the drawings by ,rossetti1 even as we see them after translation by the engraver had worked his will1 must needs be valued as masterpieces1 if only for the imagination and thought compressed into their limited space1 and from their exquisite manipulation of details4 ,at first sight1 some of these--for instance1 the soldier munching an apple in the ,st4 ,cecilia--seem discordant1 but afterwards reveal themselves as commentaries upon the text--not elucidating it directly1 but embroidering it with subtle meanings and involved symbolism4 ,such qualities as these1 whether you hold them as superfluous or essential1 separate these fine designs from the jejune simplicity of the mass of the decorative school to-day4 ,to draw a lady with 'intense' features1 doing nothing in particular1 and that in an anatomically impossible attitude1 is a poor substitute for the fantasy of ,rossetti4 ,no amount of poorly drawn confused accessories will atone for the absence of the dominant idea that welded all the disturbing elements to a perfect whole4 ,one artist to-day1 or at most two1 alone show any real effort to rival these designs on their own ground4 ,the rest appear to believe that a coarse line and eccentric composition provide all that is required1 given sufficient ignorance of academic draughtsmanship4 ,illustration3 ,,john ,,gilbert ,,willmott',s ',,poets ,,of ,,the ,,nineteenth ,,century1' #aheg ,,hohenlinden ,illustration3

edited by the ,rev4 ,robert ,aris ,willmott 7,routledge1 #aheg71 is in many respects quite as fine as the ,tennyson1 always excepting the pre-,raphaelite element1 which is not however totally absent4 ,for in this quarto volume ,millais' ,love 7p4 #acg7 and ,the ,dream 7p4 #abc7 are worthy to be placed beside those just noticed4 ,ford ,madox ,brown's ,prisoner of ,chillon 7p4 #aaa7 is another masterpiece of its sort4 ,for this we are told the artist spent three days in a dissecting-room 7or a mortuary--the accounts differ7 to watch the gradual change in a dead body1 making most careful studies in colour as well as monochrome all for a foreshortened figure in a block #c-c_/d by #e inches4 ,this procedure is singularly unlike the rapid inspiration which throws off compositions in black and white to-day4 ,in a recent book received with well-deserved applause1 some of the smaller 'decorative designs' were produced at the rate of a dozen in a day4 ,the mere time occupied in production is of little consequence1 because we know that the apparently rapid 'sketch' by ,phil ,may may have taken far more time than a decorative drawing1 with elaborately minute detail over every inch of its surface2 but1 other qualities being equal1 the one produced with lavish expenditure of care and thought is likely to outlive the trifle tossed off in an hour or two4 ,in the ,poets of the ,nineteenth ,century the hundred engravings by the brothers ,dalziel include twenty-one of ,birket ,foster's exquisite landscapes1 all with figures2 fourteen by ,w4 ,harvey1 nine by ,john ,gilbert1

,arthur ,hughes1 ,w4 ,p4 ,leitch1 ,e4 ,a4 ,goodall1 ,t4 ,d4 ,hardy1 ,f4 ,r4 ,pickersgill1 and ,harrison ,weir--a century of designs not unworthy as a whole to represent the art of the day2 although ,rossetti and ,holman ,hunt1 who figure so strongly in the ,tennyson1 are not represented4 ,this year ,john ,gilbert illustrated the ,book of ,job with fifty designs2 ,the ,proverbs of ,solomon

the artists already mentioned4 ,the fifty-seven engravings by ,dalziel include one block on p4 #de1 from a drawing by ,j4 ,r4 ,clayton1 which is here reprinted--not so much for its design as for its engraving2 the way the breadth of the drapery is preserved1 despite the elaborate pattern on its surface1 stamps it as a most admirable piece of work4 ,thornbury's ,legends of the ,cavaliers and ,roundheads 7,hurst and ,blackett1 #aheg71 was illustrated by ,h4 ,s4 ,marks4 ,so far the few books of #aheg noticed have considerable family likeness4 ,the ,bunyan's ,pilgrim's ,progress 7,nisbet1 #aheg71 illustrated with twenty designs by ,g4 ,h4 ,thomas1 more slight in its method1 reflects the journalistic style of its day rather than the elaborate 'book' manner1 which in many an instance gives the effect of an engraving 'after' a painting or a large and highly-wrought fresco4 ,as one of the many attempts to illustrate the immortal ,protestant romance it deserves noting4 ,to this year belongs ,the ,poetical ,works of ,edgar ,allan ,poe1 illustrated with some striking designs by ,john ,tenniel1 and others by ,f4 ,r4 ,pickersgill1 ,r4,a41 ,birket ,foster1 ,percival ,skelton2 and besides these1 ,felix ,darley1 ,p4 ,duggan1 ,jasper ,cropsey1 and ,a4 ,w4 ,madot--draughtsmen whose names are certainly not household words to-day4 ,in the lists of 'artists' the portrait of the

drawings by ,c4 ,h4 ,bennett1 also deserve a passing word4 ,gertrude of ,wyoming1 by ,thomas ,campbell 7,routledge1 #aheg71 is only less important from its dimensions1 and the fact that it contains only thirty-five illustrations1 engraved by the brothers ,dalziel1 as against the complete hundred of most of its fellows4 ,the drawings by ,birket ,foster1 ,thomas ,dalziel1 ,harrison ,weir1 and ,william ,harvey include some very good work4 ,lays of the ,holy ,land 7,nisbet1 #aheh71 clad in binding of a really fine design adapted from ,persian sources1 is another illustrated quarto1 with one drawing at least--,the ,finding of ,moses--by ,j4 ,e4 ,millais1 which makes it worth keeping2 a 'decorative' ,song of ,bethlehem1 by ,j4 ,r4 ,clayton1 is ahead of its time in style2 the rest by ,gilbert1 ,birket ,foster1 and others are mostly up to their best average4 ,the title-page says 'from photographs and drawings1' but as every block is attributed to an artist1 the former were without doubt redrawn and the source not acknowledged--a habit of draughtsmen which is not obsolete to-day4 ,illustration3 ,j4 ,r4 ,,clayton ,,barry ,,cornwall',s ',,dramatic ,,scenes' #aheg ,,olympia ,,and

which continues the type of quarto gilt-edged toned paper table-books so frequent at this time4 ,its illustrations are a hundred in number1 all engraved by ,dalziels4 ,its artists include ,birket

book is more common in good condition to-day than this4 ,another book of the same size1 with contents less varied1 it is true1 but of almost the same level of excellence1 is ,wordsworth's ,selected ,poems 7,routledge1 #ahei71 illustrated by ,birket ,foster1 ,j4 ,wolf1 and ,john ,gilbert4 ,this contains the hundred finely engraved blocks by the brothers ,dalziel1 some of them of the first rank1 which was the conventional equipment of a gift-book at that time4 ,other noteworthy volumes of #aheh-i are ,merrie ,days of ,england1 ,sketches of ,olden ,times1 illustrated by twenty drawings by

illustrations by ,j4 ,r4 ,clayton 7,bohn's ,library1 #aheh71 is another unfamiliar book likely to be overlooked1 although it contains good work of its sort2 inspired a little by ,german design possibly1 but including some admirable drawings1 those for instance on pages #adg and #cdg4 ,the ,shipwreck1 by ,robert ,falconer1 illustrated by ,birket ,foster 7,edinburgh1 ,black1 #aheh71 contains thirty drawings1 some of them charmingly engraved by ,w4 ,t4 ,green1 ,dalziel ,brothers1 and ,edward ,evans in 'the ,turner vignette' manner2 they are delightful of their kind4 ,in #ahei there seems to be a falling off1 which can hardly be traced to the starting of ,once a ,week in ,july1 for ,christmas books--and nearly all the best illustrated volumes fall into that category--are prepared long before midsummer4 ,c4 ,h4 ,bennett's illustrated ,bunyan's ,pilgrim ,progress 7,longmans7 is one of the best of the year's output4 ,a survival of an older type is ,a ,book of ,favourite ,modern

least ten years earlier2 but its peculiar method was unique at that time1 and rarely employed since1 although but lately revived now for half-tone blocks4 ,it consists in a double printing1 black upon a previous printing in grey1 not solid1 but with the 'lights' carefully taken out1 so that the whole looks like a drawing on grey paper heightened by white chalk4 ,whether the effect might be good on ordinary paper1 these impressions on a shiny cream surface1 set in gold borders1 are not captivating4 ,odes and ,sonnets1 illustrated by ,birket ,foster 7,routledge1 #ahei71 has also devices by ,henry ,sleigh1 printed in colours4 ,it is not a happy experiment2 despite the exquisite landscapes1 the decoration accords so badly that you cannot linger over its pages with pleasure4 ,byron's ,childe ,harold1 with eighty illustrations by ,percival ,skelton1 is another popular book of #ahei4 ,hiawatha1 with twenty-four drawings by ,g4 ,h4 ,thomas1 and ,the ,merchant of ,venice 7,sampson ,low1 #ahfj71 illustrated by ,g4 ,h4 ,thomas1 ,birket ,foster1 and ,h4 ,brandling1 with ornaments by ,harry ,rogers1 are two others a trifle belated in style4 ,of different sort is ,the ,voyage of the ,constance1 a tale of the ,arctic ,seas 7,edinburgh1 ,constable71 with twenty-four drawings by ,charles ,keene1 a singularly interesting and apparently scarce volume which reveals powers of imagining landscape which he had never seen in a very realistic manner4 ,i once heard him declare that he had never in his life been near either an ,irish bog or a ,scotch moor1 both subjects being very frequent in his work4 ,the ,seasons1 by ,james ,thomson 7,nisbet1 #ahei71 illustrated by ,birket ,foster1 ,f4 ,r4 ,pickersgill1 ,r4,a41 ,j4 ,wolf1 ,g4 ,thomas1 and ,noel ,humphreys1 is another small quarto gift-book with the merits and defects of its class4 ,yet1 after making all due allowance1 one feels that even these average volumes of the fifties1 if they do not interest us as much as those of the sixties1 are yet ahead1 in many important qualities1 of the average ,christmas gift-book to-day4 ,the academic scholarship and fine craft of this era would equip a whole school of 'decorative students1' and leave still much to spare4 ,yet if we prefer1 in our heart of hearts1 the ,birmingham books to-day1 this is merely to confess that modernity1 whether it be frankly actual1 or pose as medival1 attracts us more than a far worthier thing out of fashion for the moment4 ,but such preference1 if it exists1 is hardly likely to outlast a serious study of the books of 'the sixties4' ,,chapter ,,viii3 ,,some ,,illustrated ,,books ,,of ,,the ,,period #ahfj-ahfd ,among the books dated #ahfj1 or issued in the autumn of that year1 are more elaborately illustrated editions of popular poets--all1 as a rule1 in the conventional quarto1 or in what a layman might be forgiven for describing as 'quarto1' even if an expert preferred to call it octavo4 ,of these ,tennyson's ,the ,princess1 with twenty-six drawings by ,maclise1 may be placed first1 on account of the position held by author and artist4 ,all the same1 it belongs essentially to the fifties or earlier1 both in spirit and in style4 ,a more ample quarto1 ,poems by ,james ,montgomery 7,routledge1 #ahfj71 7not the ,montgomery castigated by ,lord ,macaulay71 'selected and edited by ,robert ,aris ,wilmott

with the newer school4 ,its engravings by the brothers ,dalziel are admirable4 ,the ,clouds athwart the ,sky 7p4 #bc71 by ,john ,gilbert1 and other landscapes by the same hand1 may hold their own even by the side of those in the ,moxon ,tennyson1 or in ,wilmott's earlier anthology4 ,of quite different calibre is ,moore's ,lalla ,rookh1 with its sixty-nine drawings by ,tenniel1 engraved by the ,dalziels 7,longmans1 #ahfa74 ,if to-day you hardly feel inclined to indorse the verdict of the ,times critic1 who declared it to be 'the greatest illustrative achievement by any single hand1' it shows nevertheless not a few of those qualities which have won well-merited fame for our oldest cartoonist1 even if it shows also the limitations which just alienate one's complete sympathy4 ,yet those who saw an exhibition of ,sir ,john ,tenniel's drawings at the ,fine ,art ,society's galleries will be less ready to blame the published designs for a certain hardness of style1 due in great part 7one fancies7 to their engraver4 ,illustration3 ,h4 ,h4 ,,armstead ,,willmott',s ',,english ,,sacred ,,poetry' #ahfb1 p4 #di ,a ,,dream ,illustration3 ,,frederick ,,walker ,,willmott',s ',,sacred

hundred and ten designs by ,j4 ,d4 ,watson1 engraved by the ,dalziels1 we are confronted with a book that is distinctly of the 'sixties1' or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that most of its illustrations are distinguished by the broader treatment of the new school4 ,it is strange that the ample and admirable achievements of this artist have not received more general recognition4 ,when you meet with one of his designs set amid the work of the greatest illustrators1 it rarely fails to maintain a dignified equality4 ,if it lack the supreme artistry of one or the fine invention of another1 it is always sober and at times masterly1 in a restrained matter-of-fact way4 ,some sketches reproduced in the ,british ,architect 7,january #bb1 #ahgh7 display more freedom than his finished works suggest4 ,quarles' ,emblems 7,nisbet71 illustrated by ,c4 ,h4 ,bennett1 a caricaturist whose style seems to have lost touch with modern taste1 with decorative adornments by ,w4 ,h4 ,rogers1 must not be overlooked2 nor ,tennyson's ,may ,queen 7,sampson ,low71 with designs by ,e4 ,v4 ,b41 a gifted amateur1 whose work in this book1 in ,child's ,play1 and elsewhere1 has a distinct charm1 despite many technical shortcomings4 ,lyra ,germanica 7,longmans1 #ahfa71 an anthology of hymns translated from the ,german by ,catherine ,winkworth1 produced under the superintendence of ,john ,leighton1 ,f4,s4,a41 must not be confused with a second series1 with the same title1 the same anthologist and art editor1 issued in #ahfh4 ,this book contains much decorative work by ,john ,leighton1 who has scarcely received the recognition he deserves as a pioneer of better things4 ,at a time when lawless naturalistic detail was supreme everywhere he strove to popularise conventional methods1 and deserves full appreciation for his energetic and successful labours4 ,the illustrations include one fine ,charles ,keene 7p4 #ahb71 three by ,m4 ,j4 ,lawless 7pp4 #dg1 #ij1 #aij71 four by ,h4 ,s4

,adventures of ,baron ,munchausen1 with designs by ,a4 ,crowquill 7,trbner71 is not very important4 ,an illustrated edition of ,mrs4 ,gatty's ,parables from ,nature 7,bell and ,daldy7 would be remarkable if only for the ,nativity by ',e4 ,burne-,jones4' ,it is instructive to compare the engraving with the half-tone reproduction of the original drawing which appears in ,mr4 ,pennell's ,modern ,illustrations 7,bell74 ,but there are also good things in the book by ,john ,tenniel1 ,holman ,hunt1 ,m4 ,e4 ,edwards1 and drawings of average interest by ,w4 7not ,j4 ,e47 ,millais1 ,otto ,speckter1 ,f4 ,keyl1 ,l4 ,frolich1 ,harrison ,weir1 and others4 ,in the respective editions of #ahfa and #ahfg the illustrations vary considerably4 ,another book that happened to be published in #ahfj would at any time occupy a place by itself4 ,founded on ,blake1 ,david ,scott developed a distinctly personal manner1 that has provoked praise and censure1 in each case beyond its merit4 ,yet without joining either detractors or eulogists1 one must own that the ,bunyan's ,pilgrim's ,progress 7,edinburgh1 #ahfj71 illustrated by ,david and ,w4 ,b4 ,scott1 if a most ugly piece of book-making1 contains many very noteworthy designs4 ,it is possible1 despite the monograph of ,j4 ,m4 ,gray 7one of the earliest critics who devoted special study to the works of ,frederick ,sandys7 and a certain esoteric cult of a limited number of disciples1 that ,david ,scott still remains practically unknown to the younger generation4 ,yet this book1 and ,coleridge's ,ancient ,mariner1 which he also illustrated1 contain a great many weird ideas1 more or less adequately portrayed1 which should endear themselves to the symbolist to-day4 ,illustration3 ,h4 ,s4 ,,marks1 ,r4,a4 ,,willmott',s ',,sacred

appeared this year1 which saw also many volumes 7issued by ,day and ,son71 resplendent with chromo-lithography and 'illuminations' in gold and colours4 ,so that the ,christmas harvest1 that might seem somewhat meagre in the short list above1 really contained as many high-priced volumes appealing to ,art1 'as she was understood in #ahfj1' as the list of #ahig is likely to include4 ,but the books we deem memorable had not yet appeared1 and the signs of #ahfj hardly point to the rapid advance which the next few years were destined to reveal4 ,in passing it may be noted that this was the great magenta period for cloth bindings4 ',surely the most exquisite colour that ever left the chemist's laboratory1' exclaims a contemporary critic1 after a rapturous eulogy4 ,the 'wicked fratricidal war in ,america1' we find by references in the trade periodicals of the time1 was held responsible for the scarcity of costly volumes at this date4 ,perhaps the most important book of #ahfb is ,willmott's ,sacred ,poetry of the #afth1 #agth1 and #ahth centuries 7like many others issued the previous ,christmas74 ,it contains two drawings by ,sandys1 which are referred to elsewhere1 three by ,fred

,tennyson1 it may be considered otherwise as about of equal interest with that and the earlier anthology of ,poets of the ,nineteenth ,century1 gathered together by the same editor4 ,it is distinctly a typical book of the earlier sixties1 and one which no collector can afford to miss4 ,poetry of the ,elizabethan ,age1 with thirty illustrations by ,birket ,foster1 ,john ,gilbert1 ,julian ,portch1 and ,e4 ,m4 ,wimperis1 is not quite representative of the sixties1 but of a transitional period which might be claimed by either decade4 ,the ,songs and ,sonnets of ,shakespeare1 with ten coloured and thirty black-and-white drawings by ,john ,gilbert1 to whatever period it may be ascribed1 is one of his most superb achievements in book-illustration4 ,christmas with the ,poets1 'embellished with fifty-three tinted illustrations by ,birket ,foster' 7,bell and ,daldy71 can hardly be mentioned with approval1 despite the masterly drawings of a great illustrator4 ,as a piece of book-making1 its gold borders and weak 'tinted' blocks1 printed in feeble blues and browns1 render it peculiarly unattractive4 ,yet in all honesty one must own that its art is far more thorough and its taste possibly no worse essentially than many of the deckle-edged superfluities with neo-primitive designs which are popular at the present time4 ,the work of this artist is perhaps somewhat out of favour at the moment1 but its neglect may be attributed to the inevitable reaction which follows undue popularity4 ,there are legends of the palmy days of the ,old ,water-,colour ,society1 when the competition of dealers to secure drawings by ',birket ,foster' was so great that they crowded round the doors before they opened on the first day1 and one enterprising trader1 crushing in1 went straight to the secretary and said1 ',i will buy the screen1' thereby forestalling his rivals who were hastily jotting down the works by this artist hung with others upon it4 ,but even popular applause is not always misdirected2 and the master of ,english landscape1 despite a certain prettiness and pettiness1 despite a little sentimentality1 is surely a master4 ,there are 'bests' and bests so many2 and if ,birket ,foster is easily best of his kind1 and the fact would hardly be challenged1 then as a master we may leave his final place to the future1 sure that it is always with the great who have succeeded1 and not with the merely promising who just escape success4 ,among the minor volumes of this year1 now especially scarce1 are ,dr4 ,george ,mac ,donald's ,dealings with the ,fairies1 with illustrations by ,arthur ,hughes2 and several of ,strahan's children's books3 ,the ,gold ,thread1 by ,dr4 ,norman ,macleod1 with illustrations by ,j4 ,d4 ,watson1 ,j4 ,m',whirter1 and others2 and ,the ,postman's ,bag1 illustrated by ,j4 ,pettie and others4 ,a curious volume1 ,spiritual ,conceits1 'illustrated by ,harry ,rogers1' is printed throughout in black letter1 and1 despite the title1 would be described more correctly to-day as 'decorated' by the artists1 for the engravings are 'emblematical devices' more or less directly inspired by the emblem books of the sixteenth and the seventeenth centuries4 ,as one of the few examples of conventional design of the period1 it is interesting4 ,new copies are by no means scarce1 so it would seem to have been printed in excess of the demand1 which1 judging by the laudatory criticism it received1 could not have been meagre4 ,illustration3 ,,birket ,,foster ',,pictures ,,of ,,english ,,landscape1' #ahfd ,,the ,,green ,,lane ,illustration3 ,,birket ,,foster

yield a full crop of lavishly produced books1 but as a matter of fact there are singularly few4 ,two important exceptions occur3 ,christina ,rossetti's ,goblin ,market1 with the title-page and frontispiece by her brother1 and ,the ,new ,forest1 by ,j4 ,r4 ,wise1 with drawings by ,walter ,crane1 'a very young artist1 whom we shall be glad to meet with again1' as a contemporary criticism runs4 ,yet1 on the whole the men of the sixties appear to have exhausted their efforts on the new magazines which had just attained full vigour2 hence1 as we might expect1 publishers refrained from competing with the annual volumes1 which gave at least twice as much for seven shillings and sixpence as they had hitherto included in a guinea table-book4 ,birket ,foster's ,pictures of ,english ,landscape1 with pictures in words by ,tom ,taylor 7,routledge #ahfc71 contains thirty singularly fine drawings engraved by ,dalziels1 of which the editor says3 ',it is still a moot point among the best critics how far wood-engraving can be profitably carried--whether it can attempt1 with success1 such freedom and subtlety of workmanship as are employed1 for example1 on the skies throughout this series1 or should restrict itself to simple effects1 with a broader and plainer manner of execution4' ,its companion was styled ,beauties of ,english ,landscape1 and appeared much later4 ,early ,english ,poems1 ,chaucer to ,pope 7,sampson ,low1 #ahfc71 is another book of the autumn of #ahfb1 which like the rest is a quarto1 with an elaborately designed cover and the usual hundred blocks delightfully engraved1 after ,john ,gilbert1 ,birket ,foster1 ,george ,thomas1 ,t4 ,creswick1 ,r4,a41 ,r4 ,redgrave1 ,r4,a41 ,e4 ,duncan1 and many others4 ,although there is no reference to the fact in the book itself1 many of the illustrations had already done duty in other books1 or possibly did duty afterwards1 for1 without a tedious collation of first editions1 it is difficult to discover the first appearance of any particular block4 ,probably this was the original source of many blocks which afterwards were issued in all sorts of volumes1 so frequently that their charm is somewhat

,etching ,club1 an important book of its sort1 is noticed elsewhere4 ,in #ahfc ,millais' ,parables of our ,lord was issued1 although it is dated #ahfd4 ,of the masterpieces it contained a reviewer of the period wrote3 'looked at with unfeeling eyes there is little to commend them to the average class of book-buyers4' ,this1 which is no doubt a fairly representative opinion1 may be set against the wide appreciation by artists they aroused at the time1 and ever since1 merely to show that the good taste of the sixties was probably confined to a minority1 and that the public in #ahfg or #ahig1 despite its pretence of culture1 is rarely moved deeply by great work4 ,it is difficult to write dispassionately of this book4 ,granted that when you compare it with the drawings of some of the subjects which are still extant1 you regret certain shortcomings on the part of the engravers2 yet1 when studied apart from that severe test1 there is much that is not merely the finest work of a fine period1 but that may be placed among the finest of any period4 ,we are told in the preface that ',mr4 ,millais made his first drawing to illustrate the ,parables in ,august #aheg1 and the last in ,october #ahfc2 thus he has been able to give that care and consideration to his subjects which the beauty as well as the importance of ,the ,parables demanded4' ,it is not necessary to describe each one of the many illustrations4 ,those which appeared in ,good ,words are printed with the titles they first bore in the notice of that magazine4 ,the other eight are3 ,the ,tares1 ,the ,wicked ,husbandman1 ,the ,foolish ,virgins1 ,the ,importunate ,friend1 ,the ,marriage ,feast1 ,the ,lost ,sheep1 ,the ,rich ,man and ,lazarus1 and ,the ,good ,shepherd1 all engraved by the brothers ,dalziel1 who 7to quote again from the preface71 'have seconded his efforts with all earnestness1 desiring1 as far as their powers would go1 to make the pictures specimens of the art of wood-engraving4' ,here it would be superfluous to ask whether the designs could have been better engraved1 or even whether photogravure would not have retained more of the exquisite beauty of the originals4 ,as they are1 remembering the conditions of their production1 we must needs accept them2 and the full admiration they demand need not be dashed by useless regret4 ,in place of blaming ,dalziels1 let us rather praise lavishly the foresight and sympathy which called into being most of the books we now prize4 ,indeed1 a history of ,dalziels' undertakings fully told would be no small part of a history of modern ,english illustration4 ,if any one who loves art1 especially the art of illustration1 does not know and prize these ,parables1 then it were foolish to add a line in their praise1 for ignorance of such masterpieces is criminal1 and lukewarm approval a fatal confession4 ,illustration3 ,j4 ,e4 ,,millais ',,the ,,parables ,,of ,,our ,,lord1' ,,routledge1 #ahfd ,,the ,,prodigal ,,son

is difficult to place any book of #ahfc next in order to ,the ,parables2 despite many fine publications1 there is not one worthy to be classed by its side4 ,perhaps the most important in one sense1 and the least in another1 is ,longmans' famous edition of the ,new ,testament1 upon the preparation of which a fabulous amount of money was spent4 ,yet1 although an epoch-making book to the wood-engraver1 it represents rather the end of an old school than the beginning of a new4 ,its greatly reduced illustrations1 wherein a huge wall-painting occupies the space of a postage-stamp1 the lack of spontaneity in its formal 'correct' borders1 impress us to-day more as curiosities than as living craft4 ,all the same1 it was considered a marvellous achievement2 but its spirit1 if it ever existed1 has evaporated with age2 indeed1 one cannot help thinking that it was out of date when it appeared4 ,ten years earlier it would have provoked more hearty approval2 but1 with ,millais' treatment of the similar subjects1 who could look at this precise1 unimaginative work8 ,that it ever exercised any influence on wood-engraving is doubtful1 and that it repaid1 even in part1 its cost and labour is still more problematical4 ,bound1 if memory can be trusted1 in sham carved and pierced oak1 it may be still encountered among the rep and polished walnut of the period1 a monument of misapplied endeavour4 ,its ideal seems to have been to imitate steel-plates by wood-blocks4 ,just as ,crusaders' tombs had been modelled in ,parian to do duty as match-boxes1 and a thousand other attempts1 then and since1 with the avowed intention of imitation1 have attracted no little common popularity2 so its tediously minute handiwork no doubt won the approbation of those whose approval is artistic insult4 ,one has but to turn to the tiny woodcuts of ,holbein's ,dance of ,death to find that size is of no importance2 a netsuke may be as broadly treated as a colossus1 but the art of the miniature is too often miniature art4 ,therefore1 side by side with the splendour of ,millais1 this mildly exciting 'art-book' comes as a typical contrast4 ,no matter how ,millais was rewarded1 the mere engraver in this case must have been paid more1 if contemporary accounts are true2 yet the result is that nobody wants the one1 and every artist1 lay or professional1 who is awake to really fine things1 treasures a chance impression of a ,parable1 torn out of ,good ,words1 as a thing to reverence4 ,on turning back to a scrap-book1 where a number of them were preserved by the present writer in the late sixties1 the old surprise comes back with irresistible force to find that things which he then ranked first still maintain their supremacy4 ,at that time1 when the wonders of ,japanese ,art were a sealed book1 the masterpieces of ,drer and ,rembrandt1 the triumphs of ,whistler1 and the exquisite engravings of the ,french wood-engravers1 past and present1 all unknown to him1 he1 in common with dozens of others1 was conscious that here was something so great that it was almost uncanny1 for1 obvious and simple as it looked1 it yet accomplished what all others seemed only to attempt4 ,there are very few pictures which after thirty years retain the old glamour2 but while the ,longmans' ,new ,testament when seen anew raises no thrill of appreciation1 the ,parables appear as astoundingly great to one familiar with modern illustrations as they did to an ignorant boy thirty years ago4 ,other fetishes have gone unregretted to the lumber-room1 but the ,millais of #ahfc is a still greater master in #ahif4 ,they builded better than they knew1 these giants of the sixties1 and that the approval of another generation indorses the verdict of the best critics of their own may be taken as a promise of abiding homage to be paid in centuries yet to come4 ,curiously enough1 among some literary notes for ,christmas #ahfc1 we find that 'early next year ,messrs4 ,dalziel hoped to issue their ,bible pictures1' and the writer goes on to praise several of the drawings--notably the ,leightons1 which were even then engraved3 this note1 nearly twenty years before the book actually appeared1 is interesting1 but it must not be thought that the time was devoted entirely to the engraving or in waiting for the perfection of photographic transfer to wood4 ,an ,english edition of ,michelet's ,the ,bird1 illustrated by ,giacomelli 7,nelson71 was issued this year1 and the highly wrought naturalistic details of the engravings became extremely popular4 ,its 'pretty' finish1 and tame1 colourless effect influenced no little work of the period1 and1 coupled with the clichs of ,gustave ,dor engravings1 so lavishly reprinted here about this date1 did much to promote a style of wood-engraving which found its highest expression in the pages of ,american magazines years afterwards1 and its lowest in the 'decorated' poems of cheap 'snippet' weeklies1 which to-day are yet imitated unconsciously by those who work in wash for half-tone processes4 ,the next important volume of the year1 after ,millais' ,parables1 judged by our standard1 is unquestionably ,dalziels' edition of ,the ,arabian ,nights 7,ward1 ,lock1 and ,tyler7--'illustrated by ,a4 ,boyd ,houghton1' one feels tempted to add to the title4 ,but although the book is often referred to as the work of one artist1 as a matter of fact it is the work of many4 ,houghton does not even contribute the largest number2 his eighty-seven designs are beaten by ,t4 ,dalziel's eighty-nine4 ,nor is he the greatest draughtsman therein1 for there are two by ,millais4 ,still1 notwithstanding these1 and eight by ,john ,tenniel1 ten by ,g4 ,j4 ,pinwell1 one by ,t4 ,morten1 two by ,j4 ,d4 ,watson1 and six by ,e4 ,dalziel1 it is for ,houghton's sake that the book has suddenly assumed importance1 even in the eyes of those who do not search through the volumes of the sixties for forgotten masterpieces1 but are content with ,once a ,week1 the ,cornhill ,gallery1 and ,thornbury's ,legendary ,ballads4 ,one thing is beyond doubt3 that with the ,arabian ,nights and the others on this short list you have a ,national ,gallery of the best things--not the best of all possible collections1 not even an exhaustive collection of specimens of each1 but a good working assortment that suffices to uphold the glory of 'the golden decade1' and can only be supplemented but not surpassed by the addition of all the others4 ,the book was issued in weekly numbers1 as you see on opening a first edition of the volume at the risk of breaking its back4 ,close to the fold appears the legend1 ',printed by ,dalziel ,brothers1 the ,camden ,press1 ,n4,w41' etc4 ,it was eventually issued in two volumes in ,october #ahfd1 but dated '#ahfe4' ,mr4 ,laurence ,housman's volume1 ,arthur ,boyd ,houghton 7,kegan ,paul1 #ahif71 and his excellent article in ,bibliographica1 are available for those who wish for a fuller appreciation of this fine book4 ,illustration3 ,a4 ,,boyd ,,houghton ,,dalziels' ',,arabian ,,nights1' p4 #adi ,,noureddin ,,ali ,,on ,,his ,,journey ,by the side of the books already mentioned the rest seem almost commonplace1 but another edition of ,the ,pilgrim's ,progress1 with one hundred illustrations by ,t4 ,dalziel1 must not be overlooked4 ,these show that one of the famous engravers was also an artist of no mean importance1 and explain much of the fine taste that distinguished the publications of the firm with which he was associated4 ,elsewhere the many original designs by other members of the firm go to prove this up to the hilt4 ,it is curious to find #ahfd the date of the 'new' illustrated edition of ,the ,ingoldsby ,legends 7,bentley74#f ,those familiar with contemporary volumes

poems and pictures made important by the work of the artists4 ,yet1 with full recognition of the greater literalism of reproductive process to-day1 one doubts if even ,the ,london ,garland 7,macmillan1 #ahie71 which most nearly approaches it1 will maintain its interest more fully1 after thirty years' interval1 than does this sumptuous quarto1 and a few of its fellows4 ,that we could get together1 at the present time1 as varied and capable a list of artists is quite possible2 but where is the publisher who would risk paying so much for original work designed for a single book1 when examples by the same men are to be obtained in equally good reproductions1 and not less well printed in many of the sixpenny weeklies and the monthly magazines8 ,the change of conditions seems to forbid a revival of volumes of this class1 although the ,yellow ,book1 ,the ,pageant1 ,the ,savoy1 and ,the ,quarto1 are not entirely unrelated to them4 ,to #ahfd belongs formally ,the ,cornhill ,gallery1 a hundred impressions from the original blocks of pictures4 ,among the early volumes issued for ,christmas #ahfe1 this is1 perhaps1 the most important book1 but1 as its contents are fully noticed elsewhere1 no more need be said here4 ,it is amusing to read that a critic disliked ',mr4 ,leighton's unpleasant subjects'--the ,romola designs6 ,dalziels' ,illustrated ,goldsmith 7,ward and ,lock1 #ahfe71 may be considered1 upon the whole1 the masterpiece of ,g4 ,j4 ,pinwell1 who designed the hundred illustrations which seemed then to be accepted as the only orthodox number for a book4 ,how charming some of these are every student of the period knows4 ,pinwell1 as certain original drawings that remain prove only too clearly1 suffered terribly at the engraver's hands1 and1 beautiful as many of the designs are1 one cannot avoid regret that they were not treated more tenderly4 ,it is quite possible that bold work was needed for the serial issue in large numbers1 and that the engravers simplified the drawings of set purpose2 but the delicacy and grace of the originals are ill-replaced by the coarser modelling of the faces and the quality of the 'line' throughout4 ,this year saw also ,home ,thoughts and ,home ,scenes1 a book with thirty-five drawings of children1 by ,a4 ,boyd ,houghton 7,routledge1 #ahfe72 which was afterwards reprinted as ,happy ,day ,stories4 ,this book is absolutely essential to any representative collection of the period1 but nevertheless its designs can hardly be regarded as among the artist's most masterly works4 ,warne's edition of ,the ,arabian ,nights 7#ahff71 with sixteen drawings1 eight by ,a4 ,boyd ,houghton1 must not be confused with the other edition to which he contributed quite distinct subjects4 ,this1 and ,don ,quixote 7,warne7 appear in the ,christmas lists for #ahfe4 ,the great ,spanish novel hardly seems to have sustained the artist to his finest achievements throughout4 ,it contains #ajj most interesting designs2 some that reveal his full accomplishment4 ,at the same time it fails to astound you1 as the ,arabian ,nights have a knack of doing again and again1 whenever you turn over their pages4

a great year for ,gustave ,dor4 ,so many ,english editions of his books were issued that a summary of the year's art begins with an apology for calling it 'l'anne dore4' ,among these ,don ,quixote gained rapid and firm hold of popular fancy4 ,many people who have risen superior to ,dor to-day1 and speak of him with contempt now1 at that time grovelled before the ,french artist's work4 ,a contemporary critic writes of him as one who1 'by common consent occupies the first place of all book-illustrators of all time4' ,as he is not in any sense an ,english illustrator we need not attempt to appraise his work here1 but it influenced public taste far more than it influenced draughtsmen2 yet the fact that ,don ,quixote1 as ,houghton depicted him1 even now fails to oust the lean-armoured1 grotesque hero 7one of ,dor's few powerful creations71 may be the reason for ,houghton's version failing to impress us beyond a certain point4 ,a book of the year1 ,ballads and ,songs of ,brittany1 from the ,french of ,hersart de la ,villemarqu1 by ,tom ,taylor 7,macmillan71 should be interesting to-day1 if only for the two steel plates after ,tissot1 which show that1 in his great ,eastern cycle of ,biblical drawings1 he reverts to an earlier manner1 which he had employed before the mondaine and the demi-monde attracted him4 ,the book contains also four ,millais'1 and a fine ,keene1 which1

beneath the drawings4 ,an artist in knickerbockers1 by ,du ,maurier1 entitled ',the excellency of the ,bible1' for instance1 is apt to raise a ribald laugh2 and some of the ,calvinistic rhymes and unpleasant theology of the good old doctor are strangely ill-matched with these experiments in a medium which evidently interested the draughtsman far more than the songs which laid so heavy a burden on the little people of a century ago4 ,legends and ,lyrics1 by ,a4 ,a4 ,procter 7,bell and ,daldy1 #ahfe71 is another quarto edition of a popular poet1 but here1 in place of the usual hundred ,birket

and ,birket ,fosters4 ,although the style of work that prevailed in #ahfe-ff was so widely popular1 it did not find universal approval4 ,critics deplored the 'sketchy' style of ,dalziels' engraving and1 comparing it unfavourably with ,longmans' ,new ,testament1 moaned1 'when shall we find again such engraving as in ,mulready's drawings by ,thompson4' ,in ,don ,quixote they owned ,houghton's designs were clever1 but thought1 'on the whole1 the worthy knight deserved better treatment4' ,and so all along the line we find the then present contrasted with the golden past2 even as many look back to-day to the golden 'sixties' from the commonplace 'nineties4' ,this time saw the beginning of the superb toy-books by ,walter ,crane--which are his masterpieces1 and monuments to the skill and taste of ,edmund ,evans1 their engraver and printer4 ,for wood-block printing in colours1 no western work has surpassed them even to this date4 ,poems by ,jean ,ingelow 7,longmans1 #ahfg7 is a very notable and scarce volume1 which was published in the autumn of #ahff4 ,it contains twenty drawings by ,g4 ,j4 ,pinwell1 of which the seven to ,the ,high ,tide are singularly fine2 but that they suffered terribly at the engraver's hands some originals1 in the possession of ,mr4 ,joseph ,pennell1 prove only too plainly4 ,j4 ,w4 ,north is represented by twenty-four1 ,a4 ,boyd ,houghton by

,w4 ,north include some of the most exquisite landscapes he ever set down in black and white4 ,it was really one of ,messrs4 ,dalziels' projects1 and its publishers were only distributors2 so that the credit--and it is not slight--of producing this admirable volume belongs to the popular engravers whose names occur in one capacity or another in almost every paragraph of this chronicle4 ,still more full of good things1 but all reprinted1 is ,touches of ,nature by ,eminent ,artists 7,strahan1 #ahff74 ,this folio volume1 'into which is gathered much of the richest fruit of ,strahan and ,company's magazines1' does not belie its dedication4 ,as almost every one of its ninety-eight subjects is referred to in the record of the various magazines whence they were collected1 it will suffice to note that it contains three by ,sandys1 nine by ,fred ,walker1 four by ,millais1 five by ,a4 ,boyd ,houghton1 eight by ,g4 ,j4 ,pinwell1 two by ,lawless1 and many by ,j4 ,w4 ,north1 ,w4 ,small1 ,j4

out as well as one could hope to find them4 ,as you linger over its pages you miss many favourites1 for it is by no means an exhaustive collection even from the sources mentioned2 but it is representative and full of superb work1 interspersed though it be with the less fine things done while the great draughtsman was still hampered by the conventions of ,mulready and ,maclise4 ,idyllic

by ,walter ,thornbury 7,sampson ,low1 #ahfg71 is a book almost exactly on the lines of those of the earlier sixties1 which seems at first sight to be out of place amid the works of the newer school4

in the distance--a really notable work4 ,in my own copy1 freely annotated with most depreciatory criticisms of text and pictures in pencil by a former owner1 the illustration 7p4 #ach7 has vanished1 but on its fly-leaf the late owner has written-- ',this verse its picture had1 ,a vulgar lass and lout2 ,the wood-cut was so bad ,that ,i would cut it out4' ,that it is signed ,g4 ,w4 is a coincidence more curious than pleasing to me1 and ,i quote the quatrain chiefly to show that the term 'wood-cut' for 'wood-engraving' has been in common use unofficially1 as well as officially1 all through this

pace with technical skill'--a passage only worth quoting because it is echoed to-day1 with as little justice1 by irresponsible scribblers4 ,in another criticism upon this year's books we find3 ',for

,gothic detail4 ,of their sort they are excellent1 and may be placed among the earliest modern attempts to decorate a page1 with some show of consistency of treatment4 ,compared with the so-called 'rustic' borders of earlier efforts1 they at once assume a certain importance4 ,the binding is similar to that upon the first series4 ,tom ,brown's ,school ,days1 illustrated by ,arthur ,hughes and ,s4 ,p4 ,hall1 is one of the most notable books of the year4 ,it is curious that at the close of the period1 as at its beginning1 this artist is so much to the fore1 although examples of his work appear at long intervals during the years' chronicle4 ,yet1 as #ahee shows his work in the van of the movement1 so also he supplies a goodly proportion of the interesting work which is the aftermath of the sixties1 rather than the premature growth of the seventies4 ,tom ,brown is too well known in its cheap editions1 where the same illustrations are used1 to require any detailed comment here4 ,gray's ,elegy 7illustrated in colour by ,r4 ,barnes1 ,birket ,foster1 ,wimperis1 and others7 is of little importance4 ,illustration3 ,a4 ,,boyd ,,houghton ',,golden ,,thoughts ,,from ,,golden

illustrated by various hands1 may be noticed out of their due order4 ,for the date of the first volume is often far distant from the last1 and yet1 as the series maintained a certain coherency1 it would be confusing to spread its record over a number of years and necessitate continual reiteration of facts4 ,the ,choice ,series of selections from the poets1 published by ,messrs4 ,sampson ,low and ,co41 include several volumes issued some time before they were included as part of this series4 ,the ideal of all is far more akin to that of the early fifties--when the original editions of

,pleasures of ,memory 'the large illustrations' are produced by a new method without the aid of an engraver1 and some little indulgence is asked for them on the plea of the inexperience of the artists

,a ,child's ,history of ,england4 ,to re-embody characters already stereotyped1 for the most part1 by the earlier plates of the original editions1 was a bold enterprise3 that it did not wholly fail is greatly to its credit4 ,it is quite possible that as large a number of readers made their first acquaintance with the dramatis person of the novels in these popular editions as in the older books1 and it would be interesting to discover what they really felt when the much-vaunted copper-plates afterwards fell under their notice4 ,the sentiment of ,english people has been amply expended on the ,hablot ,k4 ,browne designs4 ,cruikshank is still considered a great master by many people2 but if one could 'depolarise' their pictures 7to use ,wendell ,holmes's simile71 and set them before their admirers free from early associations1 free from the glamour of ,dickens romance1 and then extract a frank outspoken opinion1 it would be1 probably1 quite opposite to that which they are now ready to maintain4 ,recognising that the old illustrations are still regarded with a halo of memory and romance1 not unlike that which raises ,mumbo ,jumbo to a fetish among his worshippers1 a wish to estimate anew the intrinsic value1 considered as works of art1 of these old illustrations1 is not provoked by merely destructive tendencies4 ,so long as ,thackeray's drawing of ,amelia is accepted as a type of grace and beauty1 how can the believer realise the beauty of ,millais's ,was it not a lie8 in ,framley ,parsonage4 ,in the earlier and later engravings alike1 the costume repels2 but in the one there is real flesh and blood1 real passion1 real art1 in the other a merely conventional symbol1 which we agree to accept as an interesting heroine1 in the way a child of five accepts the scratches on his slate as real pirates and savages4 ,there is little use in trying to appreciate the best1 if the distinctly second-best is reverenced equally2 and so1 at any cost of personal feeling1 it is simply the duty of all concerned to rank the heroes of the sale-room1 ',phiz1' ,cruikshank1 and ,leech at their intrinsic value4 ,this is by no means despicable4 ,for certain qualities which are not remotely connected with art belong to them2 but the beauty of truth1 the knowledge born of academic accomplishment1 or literal imitation of nature1 were alike absolutely beyond their sympathy4 ,hence to praise their work as one praises a ,drer1 a ,whistler1 or a ,millais1 is apt to confuse the minds of the laity1 already none too clear as to the moment when art comes in4 ,this protest is not advanced to prove that every drawing mentioned in these pages surpasses the best work of the men in question1 but merely to suggest whether it would not be better to recognise that the praise bestowed for so many years was awarded to a conventional treatment now obsolete1 and should not be regarded as equivalent to that bestowed upon works of art which owe nothing to parochial conventions1 and are based on unalterable facts1 whether a ,hokousa or a ,menzel chances to be the interpreter4 ,the ,chandos ,poets 7,warne71 a series of bulky octavos1 with red-line borders1 are of unequal merit4 ,some1 ,willmott's ,poets of the ,nineteenth ,century1 ,james ,montgomery's ,poems1 ,christian ,lyrics1 and ,heber's ,poetical ,works1 appear to be merely reprints of earlier volumes with the original

by ,f4 ,a4 ,fraser and ,h4 ,french1 do not come into our subject4 ,other series of the works of 'standard poets1' as they were called1 all resplendent in gold and colours1 and more or less well illustrated1 were issued by ,messrs4 ,routledge1 ,nimmo1 ,warne1 ,cassell1 ,moxon1 and others1 beginning in the fifties4 ,here and there a volume has interest1 but one suspects that many of the plates had done duty before1 and those which had not are not always of great merit2 as1 for instance1 the drawings by ,w4 ,b4 ,scott to the poetical works of ,l4 ,e4 ,l4 7,routledge74 ,in these various books

artist's touch by hard unsympathetic details2 but1 all the same1 compositions by men of such eminence deserve mention4 ,with #ahgj the end of our subject is reached2 it is the year of ,edwin ,drood1

heterogeneous collection of drawings1 seems to be the last genuine survivor of the old ,christmas gift-books1 which is lineally connected with the masterpieces of its kind4 ,soon after the inevitable anthology of poems reappeared1 in humbler pamphlet shape1 as a birthday souvenir1 or a ,christmas card1 embellished with chromo-lithographs1 as it had already been allied with photographic silver-prints2 but it is always the accident of the artists chosen which imparts permanent interest to the otherwise feeble object2 whether it take the shape of a drawing-room table-book1 gaudy1 costly1 and dull1 or of a little booklet1 it is a thing of no vital interest1 unless by chance its pictures are the work of really powerful artists4 ,the decadence of a vigorous movement is never a pleasant subject to record in detail4 ,fortunately1 although the king died1 the king lived almost immediately1 and ,the ,graphic1 with its new ideals and new artists1 quickly established a convention of its own1 which is no less interesting4 ,if it does not seem1 so far as we can estimate1 to have numbered among its articles men who are worthy in all respects to be placed by ,rossetti1 ,millais1 ,sandys1 ,houghton1 ,pinwell1 ,fred ,walker1 and the rest of the typical heroes of the sixties1 yet in its own way it is a worthy beginning of a new epoch4 ,before quitting our period1 however1 a certain aftermath of the rich harvest must not be forgotten2 and this1 despite the comparatively few items it contains1 may be placed in a chapter by itself4 ,illustration3 ,,frederick ,,sandys

regarded as a most important volume in a collection of the 'sixties' is not odd1 when you find that its eighty-one illustrations were reprinted from ,once a ,week4 ,many of the drawings were republished in this book1 with the poem they originally illustrated2 others1 however1 were joined to quite different text4 ,if the memories of those living are to be trusted1 not a few of the artists concerned were extremely annoyed to find their designs applied to new purposes4 ,to take a single instance1 the ,sandys design to ,king ,warwolf re-accompanied the poem itself1 but the drawing by ,john ,lawson1 which is herein supposed to illustrate the lines1 ',and then there came a great red glare ,that seemed to crimson fitfully ,the whole broad ,heaven4' was first published with a poem1 ,ariadne1 by ,w4 ,j4 ,tate1 in ,august #ahff1 long after ,king ,warwolf first appeared4 ,its design is obviously based on this passage3 ',my long hair floating in the boisterous wind1 ,my white hands lightly grasping ,theseus' knees1 ,while he1 his wild eyes staring1 urged his slaves ,to some last effort of their well-tried skill4' ,but it requires a great effort of perverted imagination to drag in the picture1 which shows a ,greek hero on one ship1 watching1 you suppose1 the dying ,norse king on another ship2 when the ballad infers1 and the dramatic situation implies1 that the old monarch put out at once across the bar1 and his people from the shore watched his ship burn in the night4 ,to wrench such a picture from its context1 and apply it to another1 was a too popular device of publishers4 ,as1 however1 it preserves good impressions of blocks otherwise inaccessible1 it would be ungracious to single out this particular instance for blame4 ,yet all the same1 those who regard the artist's objection to the sale of clichs for all sorts of purposes1 as a merely sentimental grievance1 must own that he is justified in being annoyed1 when the whole intention of his work is burlesqued thereby4 ,a contemporary review says that the illustrations had 'appeared before in ,once a ,week1 ,the ,cornhill1 and elsewhere4' ,it would be a long and ungrateful task to collate them1 but1 so far as my own memory can be trusted1 they are all from the first named4 ,in place of including a description of the book itself1 a few extracts1 from a review by ,mr4 ,edmund ,gosse in the ,academy 7,february #ahgf1 p4 #agg71 will not only give a vivid appreciation of the work of two of the artists1 but show that twenty years ago the book was prized as highly as we prize it to-day4 ,he says3 ',we have thought the illustrations sufficiently interesting to demand a separate notice for themselves1 the more so as in many cases they are totally unconnected with ,mr4 ,thornbury's poems4444 ,we are heartily glad to have collected for us some of the most typical illustrations of a school that is1 above all others1 most characteristic of our latest development in civilisation1 and of which the principal members have died in their youth1 and have failed to fulfil the greatness of their promise4 ',the artists represented are mainly those who immediately followed the so-called pre-,raphaelites1 the young men who took up many of their principles1 and carried them out in a more modern and a more quiet way than their more ambitious masters4 ,mr4 ,sandys1 who pinned all his early faith to ,holbein1 and ,messrs4 ,walker1 ,pinwell1 ,lawless1 and ,houghton1 who promised to form a group of brother artists unrivalled in delicacy and originality of sentiment1 are here in their earliest and strongest development4444 ,m4 ,j4 ,lawless contributes no less than twenty designs to the volume4 ,we have examined these singular and beautiful drawings1 most of them old favourites1 with peculiar emotion4 ,the present writer ,mr4 ,edmund ,gosse confesses to quite absurd affection for all the few relics of this gifted lad1 whose early death seems to have deprived his great genius of all hope of fame4 ,years ago these illustrations1 by an unknown artist1 keenly excited a curiosity which was not to be satisfied till we learned1 with a sense of actual bereavement1 that their author was dead4 ,he seems to have scarcely lived to develop a final manner2 with the excessive facility of a boy of high talent we find him incessantly imitating his elder rivals1 but always with a difference4444 ,no doubt1 in ,m4 ,j4 ,lawless1 ,english art sustained one of the sharpest losses it ever had to mourn4 ,illustration3 ,w4 ,,holman ,,hunt ,,willmott',s ',,sacred ,,poetry1' #ahfb ,,the

promise of his youth1 but to ensure his head a lasting laurel4 ,there have been stronger intellects1 purer colourists1 surer draughtsmen among his contemporaries1 but where shall we seek a spirit of poetry more pathetic1 more subtle1 more absolutely modern than his8 ,the critics are for ever urging poets and painters to cultivate the materials that lie about them in the common household-life of to-day4 ,it is not so easy to do so2 it is not to be done by writing idylls of the gutter and the gibbet2 it is not to be done by painting the working-man asleep by his baby's cradle4 ,perhaps no one has done it with so deep and thorough a sympathy as ,pinwell2 and it is sympathy that is needed1 not curiosity or pity4' ,but it would be hardly fair to quote further from ,mr4 ,gosse's appreciation twenty years ago of artists still living4 ,the volume contains eight designs by ,sandys1 namely1 ,labours of ,thor 7,harold ,harfagr71 ,king ,warwolf1 ,the ,apparitor of the ,secret ,tribunal 7,jacques de ,caumont71 ,tintoretto 7,yet once more on the organ play71 ,the ,avatar of ,zeus 7,the ,king at the ,gate71 ,the search of ,ceres for ,proserpine 7,helen and ,cassandra71 ,the ,boy

show how carelessly the author treated the artists1 to whom1 in a flowery preface1 he says he owes so much1 'for they have given to his airy nothings a local habitation and a name1 and have caught and fixed down on paper1 like butterflies in an entomologist's cabinet1 many a fleeting ,cynthia of his brain1' it will suffice to quote his profuse acknowledgments to ',mr4 ,poynter1 an old schoolfellow of the author's1 and now ,professor in the ,london ,university1 who has expended all his learning1 taste1 and thought in the ,the ,three ,statues4 ,the drapery might be copied by a sculptor1 it is arrayed with such fine artistic feeling1 and over the whole the artist has thrown the solemnity of the subject1 and has shown1 in ,pluto's overshadowing arm1 the vanity of all things under the sun--even the pure ambition of a great artist4' ,this charming eulogy1 be it noted1 is bestowed on a drawing that is by ,frederick ,sandys666 not by ,poynter1 who is unrepresented in the book4 ,the

,macquoid1 ,p4 ,skelton1 ,a4 ,fairfield1 ,e4 ,h4 ,corbould1 and ,a4 ,rich4 ,the book is well printed1 and a treasure-house of good things1 which appear to more advantage upon its 'toned paper' than in the pages of the periodical where they first saw daylight4 ,the preface to ,dalziels' ,bible ,gallery is dated ,october #ahhj1 so that the volume was probably issued for the season of #ahhj-ha4 ,as we have seen1 the work was in active preparation in the early sixties4 ,it contained sixty-nine blocks excellently printed upon an ,india tint4 ,these include nine by the late ,lord ,leighton1 ,p4,r4,a41

the pages critically after a long interval1 there is a distinct sense of disillusion4 ,at the time they seemed all masterpieces2 sixteen years after they stand confessed as a very mixed group1 some conscientious pot-boilers1 others absolutely powerful and intensely individual4 ,the book is monumental1 both in its ambitious intention and in the fact that it commemorates a dead cause4 ,it is easy to disparage the work of the engravers1 but when we see what fine things owe their very existence to ,messrs4 ,dalziels' enterprise1 it is but just to pay due tribute to the firm1 and to regret that

the fine proofs of the great dition-de-luxe1 which cost about twenty times as much4 ,but for many purposes it is adequate1 and gives an idea of the superb qualities of the ,leighton designs1 and the vigour and strongly dramatic force of the ,poynters4 ,it is interesting to compare ,sir ,edward ,burne-,jones's original design for ,the ,boiling ,pot1 reproduced in ,pen-,drawing and ,pen-,draughtsmen by ,joseph ,pennell 7,macmillan1 #ahid71 with the engraving1 which is from an entirely different version of the subject4 ,other drawings on wood obviously intended for this work1 but

should be considered not as an aftermath to the sixties1 but as a presage of the time1 near the date of ,the ,music-master4 ,their vigorous attempt to employ modern costume in dignified compositions deserves more than patronising approval4 ,any art-student to-day would discover a hundred faults1 but their one virtue might prove beyond his grasp4 ,although engraved on wood by ,dalziel1 printed as they are upon a deep yellow tint1 the pictures at first sight suggest lithographs1 rather than wood-engravings4 ,rural ,england1 by ,l4 ,seguin 7,strahan1 #ahhe7 has many delightful designs by

mid-sixties1 should be noticed here2 but they deserve a separate and complete iconography4 ,in fact1 any attempt to go beyond the arbitrary date is a mistake1 and this chapter were best cut short1 with full consciousness of its being a mere fragment which may find place in some future volume1 upon 'the seventies1' that ,i hope may find its historian before long4 ,illustration3 ,,edward ,j4

,a book of this sort1 which aimed to be complete1 should contain a critical summary of the period it attempts to record4 ,but to extract from the mass of material a clearly-defined purpose1 and build up a plausible theory to show that all the diverse tendencies could be traced to a common purpose1 would surely be at best merely an academic argument4 ,all that the sixties prove1 to a very sincere if incapable student1 seems to be that the artist1 if he be indeed an artist1 can make the meanest material serve his purpose4 ,the men of the sixties tried obviously to do their best4 ,they took their art seriously1 if not themselves4 ,it is tempting to affirm that the tendency now is for no one to take himself seriously1 and even at times to look upon his art1 whatever it may be1 as merely a useful medium to exploit for his own ends4 ,yet such an opinion would be probably too sweeping2 and one is driven back to the primal fact1 that the energy and knowledge which results in masterly achievement is1 and must always be1 beyond rules1 beyond schools1 as it is beyond fashion or mood4 ,a man who tries to do his best1 if he be endowed with ripe knowledge and has the opportunity1 will make a fine thing2 which1 whether intended for a penny paper1 or a guinea gift-book1 will possess both vitality and permanent value4 ,but the men of the sixties took themselves quite seriously2 and this is surely evident from their drawings4 ,not a few committed suicide1 or died from over-work2 neither catastrophe being evidence of flippant content with the popularity they had achieved4 ,whether inspired by pure zeal for art1 by rivalry1 or by money-making1 they felt the game well worth the candle1 and did all they could do to play it fairly4 ,those of us to-day who try to do our best may be inept1 ignorant1 and attain only failure2 yet the best is not achieved by accident1 and the only moral of the sixties is the moral of the nineties3 ',whatsoever thy hand findeth to do1 do it with all thy might4' ,whether it be the triumph of a master or a pot-boiling illustrator1 the real artist never takes his art lightly4 ,life1 even reputation1 he may play with1 but his craft is a serious thing4 ,in short1 the study of the thousands of designs--some obviously burlesqued by the engraver1 others admirably rendered--will not leave an unprejudiced spectator with a cut and dried opinion4 ,that1 as it happened1 a number of really distinguished men enlisted themselves as illustrators may be granted1 but each one did his own work in his own way2 and to summarise the complex record in a sentence to prove that any method1 or any manner1 is a royal road to greatness is impossible4 ,yet no one familiar with the period can avoid a certain pride in the permanent evidence it has left1 that ,english art in illustration1 7no less than ,english music in the part-songs of the ,elizabethan period71 has produced work worthy to be entered on the cosmopolitan roll of fame4 ,this is unquestionable2 and being granted1 no more need be said1 for an attempt to appraise the relative value of totally distinct things is always a foolish effort4 ,,chapter ,,xi3 ,,certain ,,influences ,,upon ,,the ,,artists ,,of ,,the ,,sixties ,although it would be retraversing beaten paths to trace the illustrator of the sixties back to ,bewick1 or to still earlier progenitors in ,drer or the ,florentines1 there can be little doubt that the pre-,raphaelites gave the first direct impulse to the newer school4 ,that their work1 scanty as it is1 so far as book-illustration is concerned1 set going the impulse which in ,kelmscott ,press ,editions1 the ,birmingham ,school1 the ,vale ,press1 ,beardsley1 ,bradley1 and a host of others on both sides of the ,atlantic1 is 'the movement' of the moment is too obvious to need stating4 ,but for 'the sixties' proper1 the paramount influence was ,millais--the ,millais after the pre-,raphaelite ,brotherhood had disbanded4 ,despite a very ingenious attempt to trace the influence of ,menzel upon the earlier men1 many still doubt whether the true pre-,raphaelites were not quite ignorant of the great ,german4 ,later men--,fred ,walker especially1 and ,charles ,keene many years after--knew their ,menzel1 and appreciated him as a few artists do to-day1 and the man in the street may at no distant future4 ,but some of the survivors of the pre-,raphaelites1 both formal and associated1 deny all knowledge of ,menzel at this date2 others1 however1 have told ,mr4 ,joseph ,pennell that they did know his work1 and that it had a distinct influence4 ,some who did not know him then regret keenly that they were unaware of his very existence until they had abandoned illustration for painting4 ,all agree1 of course1 in recognising the enormous personality of one who might be called1 without exaggeration1 the greatest illustrator of the century2 so that1 having stated the evidence as it stands1 no more need be added1 except a suggestion that the theory of ,menzel's influence1 even upon those who declare they knew not the man1 may be sound4 ,an edition of ,frederick the ,great1 by ,kgler1 with five hundred illustrations by ,menzel1 was published in ,england 7according to the ,british ,museum ,catalogue1 the book itself is undated7 in #ahdd4g ,it is quite possible that any one of the men of the time might have seen it by chance1 and turned over its pages ignorant of its artist's name4 ,a few minutes is enough to influence a young artist1 and the one who in all honesty declares he never heard of ,menzel may have been thus unconsciously influenced4 ,but1 if a foreign source must be found1 so far as the pre-,raphaelites are concerned1 ,rethel seems a far more possible agent4 ,his famous prints1 ,death the ,friend and ,death the ,avenger1 had they met his eye1 would doubtless have influenced ,mr4 ,sandys1 and many others who worked on similar lines4 ,illustration3 ,,ford ,,madox ,,brown ,,dalziels' ',,bible ,,gallery1' #ahhj ,,elijah ,,and ,,the ,,widow',s ,,son ,whether ,lasinio's 'execrable engravings1' as ,ruskin calls them1 or others1 will be found to have exerted any influence1 ,i have no evidence to bring forward4 ,in fact the theory is advanced only as a working hypothesis1 not as an argument capable of proof4 ,it is possible that ,france at that time was an important factor as regards technique1 as it has been since1 and is still4 ,but1 without leaving our own shores1 the logical sequence of development from ,bewick1 through ,harvey1 ,mulready and others1 does not leave very many terrible gaps4 ,it is true that this development is always erratic--now towards the good1 now to meretricious qualities4 ,the more one studies the matter1 the more one fancies that certain drawings not intended for engraving by ,mulready1 and others by ,maclise1 must have had a large share in the movement which culminated about #ahfe and died out entirely about #ahgj4 ,but whatever the influence which set it going1 the ultimate result was ,british2 and1 for good or evil1 one cannot avoid a feeling of pride that in the sixties there was art in ,england1 not where it was officially expected perhaps1 but in popular journals4 ,it is quite possible that the revival of etching as a fine art1 which took place early in the second half of this century1 had no little direct influence on the illustration of the period4 ,many artists1 who are foremost as draughtsmen upon wood1 experimented with the etcher's needle4 ,the ,germ1 #ahej1 was illustrated by etchings2 but1 with every desire to develop this suggestion1 it would be folly to regard the much discussed periodical as the true ancestor of ,once a ,week and the rest2 even the etching which ,millais prepared for it1 but never issued1 would not suffice to establish such claim4 ,two societies1 the ,etching ,club and the ,junior ,etching ,club1 are responsible for the illustration of several volumes1 wherein the etched line is used in a way almost identical with the same artists' manner when drawing for the engraver4 ,indeed1 the majority of these etchings would suffer little if reproduced by direct process to-day1 as the finesse of rebroussage and the more subtle qualities of biting and printing are not present conspicuously in the majority of the plates4 ,the ,poems by ,tom ,hood1 illustrated by the ,junior ,etching ,club1 include two delightful ,millais'1 ,the ,bridge of ,sighs and ,ruth1 a ,lee ,shore by ,charles ,keene1 and two illustrations to the ,ode to the ,moon1 and ,the ,elm-tree by ,henry ,moore4 ,passages from ,modern ,english ,poets1 illustrated by the ,junior ,etching ,club1 was issued 7undated71 by ,day and ,son1 in #ahfb1 in a large octavo4 ,in #ahgf another edition in larger quarto1 with the etchings transferred to stone1 and printed as lithographs1 was published by ,william ,tegg4 ,in this notable volume ,millais is represented by ,summer ,indolence 7p4 #aj71 a most graceful study of a girl lying on her back in a meadow with a small child1 who is wearing a daisy chain1 seated at her side4 ,mr4 ,j4 ,mc,neill ,whistler contributes two delightful landscapes1 ,the ,angler 7p4 #g7 and ,a ,river ,scene 7p4 #de74 ,in these the master-hand is recognisable at a glance1 although the authorship of many of the rest can only be discovered by the index4 ,they would alone suffice to make the book a treasure to light upon4 ,to praise them would be absurd1 for one can conceive no more unnecessary verbiage than a eulogy of ,mr4 ,whistler's etchings--one might as well praise the beauty of ,june sunshine4 ,there are many other good things in the book--a ,tenniel1 ,war and ,glory 7p4 #c71 four capital studies by ,henry ,moore 7pp4 #a1 #af1 #bg1 #bh71 which come as a revelation to those who only know him as a sea-painter4 ,four others by ,m4 ,j4 ,lawless1 an artist who has been neglected too long1 ,the ,drummer 7p4 #b71 ,sisters of ,mercy 7p4 #ab71 ,the ,bivouac 7p4 #cj71 and ,the ,little ,shipwrights 7p4 #cf71 are all interesting1 if not quite so fascinating1 as his drawings upon wood4 ,h4 ,s4 ,marks has a genre subject1 ,a ,study in the ,egyptian ,antiquity ,department of the ,british ,museum4 ,this portentous title describes an etching of a country lad in smock-frock1 who1 with dazed surprise1 is staring into vacancy amid the gigantic scarabs1 the great goddess ,pasht1 and other familiar objects of the corridor leading to the ,refreshment-room in the great ,bloomsbury building1 which people of ,grub ,street hurry through daily1 with downcast eyes1 to enjoy the frugal dainties that a beneficent institution permits them to take by way of sustenance during the intervals of study in the ,reading-room4 ,another plate1 ,scene of the ,plague in ,london1 #affe1 by ,charles ,keene1 would hardly tempt one to linger before it1 but for its signature4 ,it is a powerful bit of work1 but does not show the hand of the great ,punch artist at its best4 ,the rest of the contributions to this volume are by ,c4 ,rossiter1 ,f4 ,smallfield1 ,viscount ,bury1 ,lord ,g4 ,fitzgerald1 ,j4 ,w4 ,oakes1 ,a4 ,j4 ,lewis1 ,f4 ,powell1 ,j4 ,sleigh1 ,h4 ,c4 ,whaite1 ,walter ,severn1 and ,w4 ,gale4 ,two by ,j4 ,clark deserve mention4 ,to find the painter of cottage-life1 with all his ,dutch realistic detail1 in company with ,mr4 ,whistler1 is a curious instance of extremes meeting4 ,without wishing to press the argument unduly1 it is evident that etching which afterwards developed so bravely1 and left so many fine examples1 exerted also a secondary influence on the illustration of the sixties4 ,hence the somewhat extended reference to the few books which employed it largely for illustrations4 ,those who would have you believe that the great ,english masters of illustration failed to obtain contemporary appreciation should note the three editions of this work as one fact1 among a score of others1 which fails to support their theory4 ,whether from a desire to extol the past or not1 it is certain that those publishers who have been established more than a quarter of a century claim to have sold far larger editions of their high-priced illustrated volumes then than any moderately truthful publisher or editor would dare to claim for similar ventures to-day4 ,of course there were fewer books of the sort issued1 and the rivalry of illustrated journalism was infinitely less2 still the people of the fifties1 sixties1 and seventies paid their tribute in gold freely and lavishly1 and if they offered the last insult of the populace--popularity--to these undoubted works of art1 it prevents one placing artists of the period among the noble army of martyrs4 ,their payment was quite equal to that which is the average to-day1 as a file-copy of one of the important magazines shows4 ,they were reproduced as well as the means available permitted2 the printing and the general 'get-up' of the books1 allowing for the different ideals which obtained then1 was not inferior to the average to-day1 and1 as a rule1 the authorship of the drawings was duly acknowledged in the table of contents1 and the artists 'starred' in contemporary advertisements4 ,it is painful to own that even the new appreciation is not absolutely without precedent4 ,one notable instance of depreciation cannot be forgotten4 ,mr4 ,ruskin1 who never expressed admiration of the illustrations of the sixties1 in ,ariadne ,florentina1 chose the current number of the ,cornhill ,magazine for the text of a diatribe in which the following passages occur3-- ',the cheap popular art cannot draw for you beauty1 sense1 or honesty2 but every species of distorted folly and vice--the idiot1 the blackguard1 the coxcomb1 the paltry fool1 the degraded woman--are pictured for your honourable pleasure in every page1 with clumsy caricature1 struggling to render its dulness tolerable by insisting on defect--if1 perchance1 a penny or two may be coined out of the cockneys' itch for loathsomeness4444 ,these 444 are favourably representative of the entire art industry of the modern press--industry enslaved to the ghastly service of catching the last gleams in the glued eyes of the daily more bestial ,english mob--railroad born and bred1 which drags itself about the black world it has withered under its breath4 ,in the miserable competitive labour of finding new stimulus for the appetite--daily more gross1 of this tyrannous mob1 we may count as lost beyond any hope1 the artists who are dull1 docile1 or distressed enough to submit to its demands4 ,and for total result of our ,english engraving industry for the last hundred and fifty years1 ,i find that practically at this moment #ahgf ,i cannot get a single piece of true1 sweet1 and comprehensible art to place for instruction in any children's school4' ,but ignoring ,mr4 ,ruskin--if it be possible to ignore the absolute leader of taste in the sixties--we find little but praise4 ,yet the popularity of #ahfj-ahgj naturally incurred the inevitable law of reaction1 and was at its lowest ebb in the eighties2 but now late in the nineties our revived applause is but an echo of that which was awarded to the work when it appealed not only by all its art1 but with novelty and an air of being 'up to date' that cannot1 in the course of things1 be ever again its portion4 ,we are not so much better than our fathers1 after all1 in recognising the good things of the sixties1 or in trying to do our best in our way4 ,which is just what they tried to do in theirs4 ,,chapter ,,xii3 ,,some ,,illustrators ,,of

,hughes1 the late ,m4 ,j4 ,lawless1 and others1 to give more exact references to their published illustrations is perhaps easier in this way than any other1 especially as a complete iconography of all

life-work of the hero1 even when1 as in ,rossetti's case1 the illustrations form but an infinitesimally small percentage of the works he produced4 ,the artists hereafter noticed have been chosen entirely from the collector's standpoint1 and with the intention of assisting those who wish to make representative or complete collections of the work of each particular man4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,george ,,housman ,,thomas 7#ahbd-ahfh7 was born in ,london1 ,december #d1 #ahbd4 ,when only fourteen he became apprenticed to ,g4 ,bonner1 a wood-engraver1 and at fifteen obtained the prize of a silver palette from the ,society of ,arts1 for an original drawing1 ,please to remember the ,grotto4 ,after he had served his apprenticeship1 in conjunction with ,henry ,harrison he set up in ,paris as a wood-engraver4 ,the firm became so successful that they employed six or seven assistants4 ,he was then tempted to go to ,new ,york to establish an illustrated paper1 which was also a success1 although losses on other ventures forced the proprietors to give it up4 ,this led the artist to turn his attention to another field of engraving for bank notes1 which are estimated among the most beautiful of their kind4 ,a few years later he returned to ,england1 and became attached to the ,illustrated ,london ,news4 ,in #ahdh a special expedition to ,italy1 which resulted in a long series of illustrations of ,garibaldi's defence of ,rome against the ,french1 not merely established his lasting reputation1 but incidentally extended his taste and knowledge by the opportunity it gave him for studying the works of the old masters4 ,in #ahed a sketch of sailors belonging to the ,baltic ,fleet1 which was published in the ,illustrated ,london ,news1 attracted the attention of the ,queen1 who caused inquiries to be made1 which led to the artist being employed by ,her ,majesty to paint for her the principal events of her reign4 ,besides a series of important paintings in oil1 he executed a large number of drawings and sketches which form an album of great interest4 ',as an illustrator of books he was remarkable1' says his anonymous biographer1#h 'for facility of execution and aptness of character4' ,his illustrations of ,hiawatha 7,kent and ,co471 ,armadale 7,wilkie ,collins71 and ,the ,last ,chronicle of ,barset 7,anthony ,trollope71 are perhaps the most important2 but ,london ,society1 ,mrs4 ,gatty's ,parables1 ,cassell's ,magazine1 ,the ,quiver1 ,illustrated ,readings1 and many other volumes of the period1 contain numerous examples of his work in this department4 ,in the person of his brother1 ,mr4 ,w4 ,luson ,thomas1 the managing director of the ,graphic and the ,daily ,graphic1 and his nephew1 ,carmichael ,thomas1 ,art ,director of the ,graphic1 the family name is

excellence71 has joined the majority of his fellow-workers in the sixties4 ,it would be impossible in a few lines to summarise his contributions to the 'black-and-white' of ,english art2 that task will doubtless be undertaken adequately4 ,but1 if all the rest of the work of the period were lost1 his contributions alone might justly support every word that has been or will be said in praise of 'the golden decade4' ,from the #aheg ,tennyson to his latest illustration he added masterpiece to masterpiece1 and1 were his triumphant career as a painter completely ignored1 might yet be ranked as a great master on the strength of these alone4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,paul ,,gray 7#ahdh-ahfh74--;,a most promising young illustrator1 whose early death was most keenly regretted by those who knew him best1 ,paul ,gray was born in ,dublin1 ,may #ag1 #ahdh4 ,he died ,november #ad1 #ahfh4 ,in the progress of this work mention has been made of all illustrations which it has been possible to identify2 many of the cartoons for ,fun1 being unsigned1 could not be attributed to him with certainty4 ,the ,savage ,club ,papers1 ,first ,series 7,tinsley1 #ahfc71 contain his last drawing1 ,sweethearting4 ,in the preface we read3 ',when this work was undertaken1 that clever young artist ,paul ,gray was foremost in offering his co-operation2 for he whom we mourned1 and whose legacy of sorrow one had accepted1 was his dear friend4 ,the shock which his system1 already weakened by the saddest of all maladies1 received by the sudden death of that friend was more than his gentle spirit could sustain4 ,he lived just long enough to finish his drawing1 and then he left us to join his friend4' ,in the record of the periodicals of the sixties will be found many references to his work1 which is1 perhaps1 most familiar in connection with ,charles ,kingsley's ,hereward the ,wake4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,dante ,,gabriel ,,rossetti 7b4 #ahbh1 d4 #ahhb74 ,the comparatively few illustrations by ,rossetti have been described and reproduced so often1 that it would seem superfluous to add a word more here4 ,yet1 recognising their influence to-day1 we must also remember that many people who are attracted by this side of ,rossetti's art may not be familiar with the oft-told story of his career4 ,he1 more than any modern painter1 would seem to be responsible for the present decorative school of illustrators1 whose work has attracted unusual interest from many continental critics of late1 and is recognised by them as peculiarly ',english4' ,while the man in the street would no doubt choose ',phiz1' ,cruikshank1 ,leech1 ,tenniel1 ,gilbert1 ,fred ,walker1 or ,pinwell as typically ',english1' the foreigner prefers to regard the illustrations by ,rossetti1 his immediate followers1 and his later disciples as representing that ,english movement1 which the native is apt to look upon as something exotic and bizarre4 ,yet it is not necessary to discuss ,rossetti's position as founder of the pre-,raphaelite school1 nor to weigh his claims to the leadership against those of ,ford ,madox ,brown and ,holman ,hunt4 ,but1 without ignoring the black-and-white work of the two last named1 there can be no doubt that it is ,rossetti who has most influenced subsequent draughtsmen4 ,nor at the time was his position as an illustrator misunderstood4 ,when we find that he received #cj each for the small ,tennyson drawings on wood1 the fact proves at the outset that the market value of his work was not ignored by his publishers4 ,at the present day when any writer on men of the sixties is accused of an attempt to 'discover' them1 and the appreciation he bestows is regarded as an attempt to glorify the appreciator at the expense of the appreciated1 it is well to insist upon the fact that hardly one of the men in favour to-day failed to meet with substantial recognition at the time4 ,it was not their fate to do drawings for love1 or to publish engravings at their own cost1 or sell as cheap curios works which now realise a thousand times their first cost4 ,drawings paid for at the highest market rate1 or1 to speak more accurately1 at 'star' prices1 published in popular volumes that ran through large editions1 received favourably by contemporary critics1 and frequently alluded to as masterpieces by writers in current periodicals1 cannot be said to have been neglected1 nor have they even been out of favour with artists4 ,that work1 which has afforded so much lasting pleasure1 was not achieved without an undue amount of pain1 is easily proved in the case of ,rossetti4 ,so pertinent is a description by his brother1 published lately1 that it may be quoted in full1 to remind the illustrators of to-day1 who draw on paper and card-board at their ease to any scale that pleases them1 how much less exacting are the conditions under which they work than those encountered by the artists who were forced to draw upon an unpleasant surface of white pigment spread upon a shining wooden block3-- ',the ,tennyson designs1 which were engraved on wood and published in the ,illustrated ,tennyson1 in which ,millais1 ,hunt1 ,mulready1 and others co-operated1' says ,mr4 ,william ,michael ,rossetti1 'have in the long run done not a little to sustain my brother's reputation with the public4 ,at the time they gave him endless trouble and small satisfaction4 ,not indeed that the invention or the mere designing of these works was troublesome to him4 ,he took great pains with them1 but1 as what he wrought at was always something which informed and glowed in his mind1 he was not more tribulated by these than by other drawings4 ,it must be said1 also1 that himself only1 and not ,tennyson1 was his guide4 ,he drew just what he chose1 taking from his author's text nothing more than a hint and an opportunity4 ,the trouble came in with the engraver and the publisher4 ,with some of the doings of the engraver1 ,dalziel 7not ,linton1 whom he found much more conformable to his notion71 he was grievously disappointed4 ,he probably exasperated ,dalziel1 and ,dalziel certainly exasperated him4 ,blocks were re-worked upon and proofs sent back with vigour4 ,the publisher1 ,mr4 ,moxon1 was a still severer affliction4 ,he called and he wrote4 ,rossetti was not always up to time1 though he tried his best to be so4 ,in other instances he was up to time1 but his engraver was not up to his mark4 ,i believe that poor ,moxon suffered much1 and that soon afterwards he died2 but ,i do not lay any real blame on my brother1 who worked strenuously and well4 ,as to our great poet ,tennyson1 who also ought to have counted for something in the whole affair1 ,i gather that he really liked ,rossetti's designs when he saw them1 and he was not without a perceptible liking and regard for ,rossetti himself1 so far as he knew him 7they had first met at ,mr4 ,patmore's house in ,december #ahdi72 but the illustration to ,st4 ,cecilia puzzled him not a little1 and he had to give up the problem of what it had to do with his work4'#i ,later on1 in the same volume1 we find an extract from a letter dated ,february #aheg1 which ,dante ,gabriel ,rossetti wrote to ,w4 ,bell ,scott3-- ',i have designed five blocks for ,tennyson1 save seven which are still cutting and maiming4 ,it is a thankless task4 ,after a fortnight's work my block goes to the engraver1 like ,agag delicately1 and is hewn in pieces before the ,lord ,harry4 ',,address ,,to ,,dalziel ,,brothers ',o woodman spare that block1 ,o gash not anyhow6 ,it took ten days by clock1 ,i'd fain protect it now4 ,chorus--,wild laughter from ,dalziels' ,workshop4' ,several versions of this incident are current1 but ,mr4 ,arthur ,hughes's account has not1 ,i think1 been published4 ,it chanced that one day1 during the time he was working in ,rossetti's studio1 the engraver called1 and finding ,rossetti was out1 poured forth his trouble and stated his own view of the matter with spirit4 ,for his defence1 as he put it1 much sympathy may be awarded to him4 ,the curious drawings executed in pencil1 ink1 and red chalk1 crammed with highly-wrought detail1 that were to be translated into clean black and white1 were1 he declared1 beyond the power of any engraver to translate successfully4 ,how ,mr4 ,hughes pacified him is a matter of no importance2 but it is but fair to recollect that1 even had the elaborate designs been executed with perfection of technique1 any engraver must have needs encountered a task of no ordinary difficulty4 ,when1 however1 the white coating had been rubbed away in parts1 and all sorts of strokes in pen1 pencil1 and pigment added1 it is not surprising that the paraphrase failed to please the designer4 ,although the drawings naturally perished in the cutting1 and cannot be brought forward as decisive evidence1 we may believe that the engraver spoilt them1 and yet also believe that no craftsman who ever lived would have been absolutely successful4 ,the number of ,rossetti's book-illustrations is but ten in all1 according to the list given in ,mr4 ,william ,sharp's admirable monograph4 ,to these one might perhaps add the frontispiece to that volume2 as although the pen-drawing1 ,a sonnet is a moment's monument1 was never intended for reproduction1 it forms a most decorative page4 ,there is also a design for a frontispiece to the ,early ,italian ,poets1 which was first reproduced in the ,english ,illustrated ,magazine1 ,no4 #a4 ,the actual frontispiece was etched but never used1 and the exquisitely dainty version survives only in two impressions from the plate1 both owned by ,mr4 ,fairfax ,murray4 ,another frontispiece1 to ,the ,risen ,life1#aj a poem by ,r4 ,c4 ,jackson1 in a cover designed by ,d4 ,g4 ,r4 7,r4 ,elkins and ,co41

existed a strange enchanting world beyond the hum-drum of this daily life--a world of radiant1 many-coloured lights1 of dim mysterious shadows1 of harmonies of form and line1 wherein to enter is to walk among the blest--that far-off world of ,art into which many a time since he has made his way and brought back visions of delight to show his fellow-men4 ,the first suspicion of that land of fary came to him when1 in a small volume of poems by ,william ,allingham1 he found a little wood-cut1 ',elfen-mere1' signed with a curious entwinement of the initials ,d4 ,g4 ,r4 ,the slumbering spirit of fancy awoke to life within him and cast her spells upon him never to be shaken off4' ,in the ,oxford and ,cambridge ,magazine1 #ahef1 ,mr4 ,burne-,jones wrote of this very design3 ',there is one more

author1 complete the ten in question4 ,as the ,tennyson has been republished lately1 and a monograph1 ,tennyson and his pre-,raphaelite ,illustrators1 by ,g4 ,somes ,layard 7,elliot ,stock1 #ahid71 has brought together every available scrap of material connected with the famous quintette of designs1 it would be superfluous to describe them here in detail4 ,any distinctly recognised 'movement' is very rarely a crescendo1 but nearly always a waning force that owes what energy it retains to the original impetus of its founder4 ,should this statement be true of any fashion in art1 it might be most easily supported1 if applied to ,rossetti's ten drawings on wood1 set side by side with the whole mass of modern 'decorative' illustration4 ,even a great artist like ,howard ,pyle has hardly added a new motive to those crowded into these wood-engravings4 ,the lady by the casement1 ',the long hours come and go1' upon the title-page of ,the ,princes ,progress1 is an epitome of a thousand later attempts4 ,mr4 ,fairfax ,murray has collected over a dozen studies and preliminary drawings for this little block1 that would appal some of the younger men as evidence of the intense care with which a masterpiece was wrought of old4 ,highly-finished drawings were done over and over again until their author was satisfied4 ,the frontispieces to ,goblin ,market and to ,the ,prince's ,progress1 no less than the ,tennyson designs1 form1 obviously enough1 the treasure-trove whence later men have borrowed2 too often exchanging the gold for very inferior currency4 ,without attempting to give undue credit to ,rossetti1 or denying that collateral influences--notably that of ,walter ,crane--had their share in the revival of the nineties1 there can be no doubt that the strongest of the younger 'decorative' artists to-day are still fascinated by ,rossetti--no less irresistibly than 'the young ,burne-,jones' was influenced in #ahee4 ,therefore the importance of these ten designs cannot be exaggerated4 ,whether you regard their influence as unwholesome1 and regret the morbidity of the school that founded itself on them1 or prefer to see in them the germ of a style entirely ,english in its renaissance1 which has already spread over that ,continent which one had deemed inoculated against any ,british epidemic1 the fact remains that ,rossetti is the golden milestone wherefrom all later work must needs be measured4 ,no doubt the superb work of ,frederick ,sandys1 had it been more accessible to the younger artists when the new impetus to decorative black-and-white began to attract a popular audience1 would have found hardly as ardent disciples4 ,illustration3 ,,dante ,,gabriel ,,rossetti ,you should have wept her yesterday ',,the ,,prince',s ,,progress' #ahff

easy to refrain from eulogy upon the work of a draughtsman with no little individuality and distinction1 who has so far been almost completely forgotten by artists of the present day4 ,the selection of his work reproduced here by the courtesy of the owners of the copyright will1 perhaps1 send many fresh admirers to hunt up the rest of it for themselves4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,arthur ,,boyd ,,houghton

,east1 but that it was a brother who supplied him with the oriental details that appear in so many of his drawings4 ,be that as it may1 his fellow-workers on the ,arabian ,nights pretended to be jealous of his ,egyptian experience1 and declared that it was no good trying to rival from their imaginings the scenes that he knew by heart4 ,at present1 when all men unite to praise him1 it would almost lend colour to a belief that he was unappreciated by his fellows to read in a contemporary criticism3 ',his designs were often striking in their effects of black and white1 but were wanting in tone and gradation--a defect partly due to the loss of one eye4' ,this is only quoted by way of encouragement to living illustrators1 who forget that their hero1 despite sympathy and commissions1 suffered also much the same misunderstanding that is often their lot4 ,against this may be set a criticism of yesterday1 which runs3-- ',as regards the school of the sixties1 now that it has moved away1 we can rightly range the heads of that movement1 and allowing for side impulses from the technique of ,menzel1 and still more from the magnetism of ,rossetti's personality1 we see1 broadly speaking1 that with ,millais it arrived1 with ,houghton it ceased4 ,under these two leaders it gathered others1 but within ten years its essential work was done4 ,it has all gone now nobly into the past from the hands of men1 some still living1 some dead but yesterday4 ',in ,houghton's work1 two things strike us especially1 when we see it adequately to-day3 its mastery of technique and style1 and its temperament3 the mastery so swift and spontaneous1 so lavish of its audacities1 so noble in its economies2 the temperament so dramatic1 so passionate1 so satiric1 and so witty4 ,in many of his qualities1 in vitality and movement1 ,houghton tops ,millais4 ,what is missing from his temperament1 if it be a lack and not a quality1 is the power to look at things coolly2 he has not1 as ,millais1 the deep mood of stoical statement1 of tragedy grown calm4 ,his tragic note is vindictive1 a little shrill3 when he sets himself to depict contemporary life1 as in the ,graphic ,america series1 he is

7#ahdj-ahge71 who was born in ,marylebone on the #bfth of ,may #ahdj1 has been the subject of so many appreciations1 and at least one admirable monograph1 that a most brief notice of his career as an illustrator will suffice here4 ,his father was a designer of jewelry and his grandfather had some skill in portrait-painting4 ,how he began drawing from the ,elgin marbles in the ,british ,museum at the age of sixteen has been told often enough4 ,many boys of sixteen have done the same1 but it is open to doubt if any one of them has absorbed the spirit of their models so completely as ,fred ,walker did4 ,it would be hardly asserting too much to say for him that they replaced humanity1 and that his male figures seem nearly always youths from the ,parthenon in peasant costume4 ,at seventeen or eighteen he was working at ,leigh's life-class in ,newman ,street1 and at the same time was employed in ,mr4 ,whymper's wood-engraving establishment4 ,his first appearance in ,everybody's ,journal is duly noted elsewhere1 also his first drawing in ,once a ,week2 but the peculiar affection he had inspired by his work has kept most of his critics from saying that some of his earliest designs1 as we know them after engraving1 appear distinctly poor4 ,but1 from the time he ceased to act as 'ghost' for ,thackeray1 and signed his work with the familiar ,f4 ,w41 his career shows a distinct and sustained advance until the ill-fated #ahge1 in which ,george ,mason1 ,g4 ,j4 ,pinwell1 and ,a4 ,boyd ,houghton also died4 ,it is unnecessary to recapitulate in brief the various contributions to the ,cornhill ,magazine1 ,good ,words1 ,once a ,week1 etc41 which have already been noted in detail4 ,nor would it be in place here to dwell upon the personality of the artist2 sufficient matter has been printed already to enable lovers of his works to construct a faithful portrait of their author--lovable and irritable1 with innate genius and hereditary disease both provoking him to petulant outbursts that still live in his friends' memories4 ,one anecdote will suffice4 ,a group of well-known painters were strolling across a bridge on the ,upper ,thames4 ,walker1 who was passionately fond of music1 had been playing on a tin whistle1 which one of the party1 half in joke1 half weary of the fluting1 struck from his mouth1 so that it fell into the stream below4 ,in a moment ,walker had thrown off his clothes1 and1 'looking like a statue come to life1 so exquisitely was he built1' plunged from the wall of the bridge1 and1 diving1 rescued his tin whistle1 which he bore to land in triumph4 ,the trifling incident is an epitome of the character of the wayward boy1 who kept his friends nevertheless4 ',he did not seek beauty1' wrote an ardent student of his work1 'but it came1 while ,pinwell thought of and strove for beauty always1 yet often failed to secure it4' ,that he knew ,menzel1 and was influenced by him1 is an open secret2 but he also owes much to the pre-,raphaelites--,millais especially4 ,yet when all he learned from contemporary artists is fully credited1 what is left1 and it is by far the largest portion1 is his own absolutely--owing nothing to any predecessor1 except possibly to the sculptors of ,greece4 ,he died in ,scotland in ,june #ahge1 and was buried at the ,marlow he painted so delightfully1 leaving behind him the peculiar immortality that is awarded more readily to a half-fulfilled life than to one which has accomplished all it set out to do1 and has outlived its own reputation4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,george ,,john ,,pinwell

,street ,academy1 entering in #ahfb4 ,at first his illustrations show little promise2 some of the earliest1 in ,lilliput ,leve1 a book of delightful rhymes for children1 by ,matthew ,browne1 are singularly devoid of interest4 ,no engraver's name appears on them1 nor is it quite clear by what process they were reproduced4 ,they are inserted plates1 and1 under a strong magnifying glass1 the lines suggest lithography4 ,the unfamiliar medium1 supposing they were drawn in lithographic ink1 or by graphotype1 or some similar process1 would account for the entire absence of the qualities that might have been expected4 ,some others1 in ,hacco the ,dwarf and in ,the ,happy ,home1 the latter in crude colours1 are hardly more interesting4 ,illustration3 ,a4 ,,boyd ,,houghton ',,good ,,words' #ahfb1 p4 #ejd ,,my ,,treasure ,according to ,mr4 ,harry ,quilter1#ad ,pinwell began life as a butterman's boy in the ,city ,road1 whose duty1 among other things1 was to 'stand outside the shop on ,saturday nights shouting ,buy6 ,buy6 ,buy6' ,later on he seems to have been a 'carpet-planner4' ,if one might read the words as 'carpet-designer1' the fact of turning up about this time at ,leigh's night-school1 where he met ,fred ,walker1 would not be quite so surprising4 ,between ,walker and ,pinwell a friendship sprang up1 but it seems to have been ,thomas ,white who introduced the former to ,once a ,week1 wherein his first contribution1 ,the ,saturnalia1 was published1 ,january #ca1 #ahfc4 ,in #ahfd he began to work for ,messrs4 ,dalziel on the ,arabian ,nights and the ,illustrated ,goldsmith1 which latter is his most important volume4 ,in #ahfi he became a member of the ,old ,water ,colour ,society1 but his work as a colourist does not concern us here4 ,nor is it necessary to recapitulate the enormous quantity of his designs which in magazines and books are noticed elsewhere in these pages4 ,some illustrations to ,jean ,ingelow's ,poems1 notably seven to ,the ,high ,tide1 represent his best period4 ,but he suffered terribly by translation at the engravers' hands4 ,the immobility1 which characterises so many of his figures1 does not appear in the few drawings which survive4 ,mr4 ,pennell is the fortunate possessor of several of the designs for ,the ,high ,tide2 but the pleasure of studying these originals is changed to pain when one remembers how many others were cut away by the engraver4 ,it is curious that three men1 so intimately associated as ,walker1 ,pinwell1 and ,houghton1 should have preserved their individuality so entirely4 ,it is impossible to confuse the work of any of them4 ,walker infused a grace into the commonplace which1 so far as the engravings are concerned1 sometimes escaped ,pinwell's far more imaginative creations2 while ,houghton lived in a world of his own1 wherein all animate and inanimate objects obeyed the lines1 the swirling curves1 he delighted in4 ,if1 as has been well said1 ,walker was a ,greek--but a dull ,greek--then ,pinwell may be called a ,naturalist with a touch of realism in his technique1 while ,houghton was romantic to the core in essence and manipulation alike4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,arthur

several times in this chronicle4 ,of its ten illustrations1 seven and a vignette are from the hand of ,arthur ,hughes4 ,the artist thus early associated with the leaders of the pre-,raphaelite movement1 and still actively at work1 was never1 technically1 a member of the ,brotherhood4 ,in #aheh1 however1 we find him one of the enthusiastic young artists ,rossetti had gathered round him with a view to the production of the so-called frescoes in the ,oxford ,union4 ,the oft-told tale of this noble failure need not be repeated here4 ,those who were responsible for the paintings in question appear more or less relieved to find that the work has ceased to exist4 ,true1 the majority of picture-lovers who have never seen them regard them1 sentimentally1 as the fine flower of pre-,raphaelite art1 which faded before it was fully open4 ,judging from the restored fragments which remain1 had they been permanent1 they would not have been more than interesting curiosities2 examples of the 'prentice efforts' of men who afterwards shaped the course of ,british art1 not merely for their own generation1 but1 as we can see to-day1 for a much longer time4 ,the great difficulties of the task these ardent novices undertook so light-heartedly may or may not have checked the practice of wall-painting in ,england1 if1 indeed1 one can speak of a check to a movement that never existed4 ,to trace in detail the course of ,mr4 ,hughes's work1 from this date to the present1 would be a pleasant and somewhat lengthy task4 ,yet1 although greater men are less fully dealt with1 a running narrative showing where the illustrations appeared will be more valuable than any attempt to estimate the intrinsic value of the work1 or explain its attractive quality4 ,that the work is singularly lovable1 and has found staunch and ardent admirers amid varying schools of artists1 is unquestionable4 ,without claiming that it equals the best work of the ',brotherhood1' it has a charm all its own4 ,the sense of delight in lovely things is present throughout1 nor does its elegance often degenerate to mere prettiness4 ,the nave expression of a child's ideal of lovely forms1 with a curiously well-sustained type of beauty1 neither ,greek nor ,gothic1 yet having a touch of paganism in its mysticism1 is always present in it4 ,with a peculiarly individual manner--so that the signature1 which is usually to be found in some unobtrusive corner1 is needless1--a student of illustration can 'spot' an ,arthur ,hughes at the most rapid glance as surely as he could identify a ,du ,maurier4 ,there are painters and draughtsmen of all periods1 before whose work you are well content to cease from criticism1 and to enjoy simply1 with all their imperfections1 the qualities that attract you4 ,passionate intensity1 the perfection of academic draughtsmanship1 dramatic composition as it is usually understood1 may1 or may not1 be always evident4 ,whether they are or not is in this case of entirely secondary importance4 ,certain indefinable qualities1 lovable and lasting1 are sure to be the most noticeable1 whether you light on a print that has escaped you hitherto1 or turn up one that you have known since the day it was published4 ,like caters for the like1 and this love which the work provokes from those to whom it appeals seems also its chief characteristic4 ,in the whole mass of pictorial art you can hardly find its equal in this particular respect4 ,the care and sorrow of life1 its disillusions and injustice1 are not so much forgotten1 or set aside thoughtlessly1 as recognised at their relative unimportance when contrasted with the widespread1 yet absolutely indefinable thing1 which it is convenient to term ,love4 ,not1 be it explained1 ,love in its carnal sense1 but1 in an abstract spiritual way1 which seeks the quiet happiness in adding to the joy of others1 and trusts that somehow1 somewhere1 good is the final end of ill4 ,it may be that this attempt to explain the impression of ,mr4 ,hughes's work is a purely personal one1 but it is one that intimate study for many years strengthens and raises to the unassailable position of a positive fact4 ,at the risk of appearing mawkishly sentimental1 even with the greater risk of reflecting sentimentality upon artistic work which it has not1 this impression of ,mr4 ,arthur ,hughes's art must be set down unmistakably4 ,looking upon it from a purely technical aspect1 you might find much to praise1 and perhaps a little to criticise2 but1 taking it as an art addressed often enough to the purpose of forming artistic ideals in the minds of the young1 you cannot but regret that the boys and girls of to-day1 despite the army of artists of all ranks catering for them1 cannot know the peculiar delight that the children of the sixties and early seventies enjoyed4 ,arthur ,hughes was born in ,london in #ahcb1 and became a pupil of ,soames of the ,royal ,academy ,schools1 exhibiting for the first time

illustrator 'was born in ,norwich in #ahcb1 the son of a painter of the place1 from whom he received his earliest art-instruction4 ,among his first drawings was a series of illustrations of the birds

most potent factor in giving the magazine its peculiar place in the hearts of artists4 ,the general public may have forgotten its early volumes1 but at no time since they were published have painters and pen-draughtsmen failed to prize them4 ,during the years that saw them appear there are frequent laudatory references in contemporary journals1 with now and again the spiteful attack which is only awarded to work that is unlike the average4 ,elsewhere mention is made of articles upon them which have appeared from time to time by ,messrs4 ,edmund ,gosse1 ,j4 ,m4 ,gray1 ,joseph ,pennell1 and others4 ,during the 'seventies1' no less than in the 'eighties' or 'nineties1' men cut out the pages and kept them in their portfolios2 so that to-day1 in buying volumes of the magazine1 a wise person is careful to see that the ',sandys' are all there before completing the purchase4 ,therefore1 should the larger public admit them formally into the limited group of its acknowledged masterpieces1 it will only imitate the attitude which from the first fellow-artists have maintained towards them4 ,the original drawings1 ',if1' ,life's ,journey1 ,the ,little ,mourner1 and ,jacques de ,caumont1 were

is true1 and one's regret that circumstances--those hideous circumstances1 which need not be explained fully1 of an artist's ideas rejected by a too prudish publisher--prevented its completion1 is perhaps the most depressing item recorded in the pages of this volume4 ,that some thirty designs all told should have established the lasting reputation of an artist would be somewhat surprising1 did not one realise that almost every one is a masterpiece of its kind4 ,owing to the courtesy of all concerned1 so large a number of these are reproduced herewith that a detailed description of each

is hardly necessary at this moment1 when their superb quality has provoked a still wider recognition than ever4 ,concerning the engraving of some ,mr4 ,sandys complained bitterly1 but of others1 notably the ,danae1 he wrote in ,october #ahhj3 ',my drawing was most perfectly cut by ,swain1 from my point of view1 the best piece of wood-cutting of our time--mind ,i am not speaking of my work1 but ,swain's4' ,to see that the artist's complaint was at times not unfounded one has but to compare the ,advent of ,winter as it appears in a reproduction of the drawing 7,art ,journal1 ,march #ahhd7 and in ,the ,quiver4 ',it was my best drawing entirely spoilt by the cutter1' he said2 but this was perhaps a rather hasty criticism that is hardly proved up to the hilt by the published evidence4 ,as a few contemporary criticisms quoted elsewhere go to prove1 ,sandys was never ignored by artists nor by people of taste4 ,to-day there are dozens of men in ,europe without popular appreciation at home or abroad1 but surely if his fellows recognise the master-hand1 it is of little moment whether the cheap periodicals ignore him1 or publish more or less adequately illustrated articles on the man and his work4 ,frederick ,sandys is and has been a name to conjure with for the last thirty years4 ,though still alive1 he has gained 7,i believe7 no official recognition4 ,but that is of little consequence4 ,there are laureates uncrowned and presidents unelected still living among us whose lasting fame is more secure than that of many who have worn the empty titles without enjoying the unstinted approval of fellow-craftsmen which alone makes any honour worthy an artist's acceptance4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,sir ,,edward ,,burne-,,jones4--,the illustrations of this artist are so few that it is a matter of regret that they could not all be reproduced here4 ,but the artist1 without withholding permission1 expressed a strong wish that they should not be reprinted4 ,the two in ,good ,words have been already named4 ,others to a quite forgotten book must not be mentioned2 but it is safe to say that no human being1 who did not know by whom they were produced1 would recognise them4 ,a beautiful design#bj for a frontispiece to ,mr4 ,william ,morris's ,love is ,enough was never engraved4 ,the ,nativity in ,gatty's ,parables from ,nature1 and the one design in the ,dalziel ,bible have already been named4 ,many drawings for ,cupid and ,psyche1 the first portion of a proposed illustrated folio edition of ,the ,earthly ,paradise1 were actually engraved1 some of the blocks being cut by ,mr4 ,morris himself4 ,several sets of impressions exist1 and rumour for a long time babbled of a future ,kelmscott ,press edition4 ,of his more recent designs nothing can be said here2 besides being a quarter of a century later than the prescribed limits of the volume1 they are as familiar as any modern work could be4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,walter ,,crane4--,this popular artist was born in ,liverpool1 ,august #ae1 #ahde1 his father being sometime secretary and treasurer of the 7then7 ,liverpool ,academy4 ,after a boyhood spent mostly at ,torquay the family came to ,london in #aheg4 ,in #ahei he became a pupil of ,mr4 ,w4 ,j4 ,linton1 the well-known engraver1 and remained with him for three years4 ,about #ahfe he first saw the work of ,burne-,jones at the ,society of ,painters in ,water ,colours4 ,these drawings1 and some ,japanese toy-books which fell in his way1 have no doubt strongly influenced his style2 but the earlier pre-,raphaelites and the ,once a ,week school had been eagerly studied before4 ,although ,mr4 ,crane1 with his distinctly individual manner1 is not a typical artist of the sixties any more than of the seventies1 or of to-day1 and although his style had hardly found its full expression at that time1 except in the toy-books1 yet no record of the period could be complete without a notice of one whose loyalty to a particular style has done much to found the modern 'decorative school4' ,illustration3 ,,walter ,,crane ',,good ,,words' #ahfc1 p4 #gie ,,treasure-,,trove ,his first published drawing1 ,a man in the coils of a serpent1 appears in a quite

as it appeared therein4 ,a bibliography of his work1 to be exhaustive1 would take up more room than space permitted here4 ,as it will be the task of the one1 whoever he may be1 who undertakes to chronicle ,english illustrations of the seventies1 it may be left without further notice4 ,for1 with the exception of the ,new ,forest 7#ahfb71 all the other books which may be called masterpieces of their order1 ,grimms' ,household ,stories1 ,the ,necklace of ,princess ,fiorimonde1 ,the ,baby's ,bouquet1 ,baby's ,opera1 sop's ,fables1 ,flora's ,feast1 ,queen ,summer1 the long series of ,mrs4 ,molesworth's children's books1 many 'coloured boards' for novels1 and the rest1 belong to a later period4 ,to find that a large paper copy of ,grimms' ,household ,stories fetched thirty-six pounds at ,lord ,leighton's sale is a proof that collectors of ',cranes' are already in full cry4 ,two hundred and fifty copies of this book were issued in large paper2 the copy in question1 although handsomely bound1 did not derive its value solely from that fact4 ,modern readers rubbed their eyes to find a recent dition de luxe fetching a record price2 but1 if certain signs are not misleading1 the market value of many books of the sixties will show a rapid increase that will surprise the apathetic collector1 who now regards them as commonplace4 ,to believe that the worth of anything is just as much as it will bring is a most foolish test of intrinsic value2 but1 should the auctioneer's marked catalogue of a few years hence show that 'the sixties' produced works which coax the reluctant guineas out of the pockets of those who a short time before would not expend shillings1 it will but reflect the well-seasoned verdict of artists for years past4 ,in matters of science and of commerce the man in the street acts on the opinion of the expert1 but in matters of art he usually prefers his own4 ,if1 when he wakens to the intrinsic value of objects about which artists know no difference of opinion1 he has to pay heavily for his conceited belief in his own judgment1 it is at once poetic justice and good common sense4 ,space forbids1 unfortunately1 detailed notices of ,fred ,barnard1 ,c4 ,h4 ,bennett1 ,t4 ,morten1 ,george ,du ,maurier1 ,john ,pettie1 ,r4,a41 and many other deceased artists whose works have been frequently referred to in previous chapters4 ,fairly complete iconographies had been prepared of the works of ,mr4 ,birket ,foster1 ,sir ,john ,gilbert1 and ,ernest ,griset4 ,these1 and other no less important lists1 have also been omitted for the same reason4 ,nor is it necessary to include here notices of artists whose fame has been established in another realm of art--such as ,mr4 ,whistler1 ,mr4 ,luke ,fildes1 ,r4,a41 ,professor ,herkomer1 ,r4,a41 ,messrs4 ,w4 ,q4

including ,w4 ,small1 ,charles ,green1 ,sir ,john ,tenniel1 would each require a volume1 instead of a few paragraphs1 to do even bare justice to the amazing quantity of notable illustrations they have produced4 ,fortunately most of them are still alive and active1 so that a more worthy excuse remains for omitting to give a complete iconography of each one here1 for they belong to a far more extended period than is covered by this book4 ,,dalziel ,,brothers ,the firm of ,dalziel ,brothers deserves more notice than it has received in the many incidental references throughout this book4 ,to ,mr4 ,thomas ,dalziel 7still alive though past fourscore7 and to his brother ,edward may be awarded the credit of exercising keen critical judgment in the discovery of latent talent among the art students of their day1 and of acting as liberal patrons of the art of illustration4 ,in a most courteous letter1 written in reply to my request for some details of the establishment of the firm1 the youngest brother of the four 7,mr4 ,thomas ,dalziel7 writes3 ',we were constant and untiring workers with our own hands1 untiring because it was truly a labour of love4 ,the extension and development of our transactions and the carrying out of many of the fine art works which we published1 is unquestionably due to my brother ,edward ,dalziel1 and to this ,i am at all times ready to bear unhesitating testimony4' ,that these talented engravers were draughtsmen of no mean order might be proved in a hundred instances2 one or two blocks here reprinted will suffice to establish their right to an honourable position as illustrators4 ,illustration3 ,t4 ,,dalziel ,,dalziels' ',,arabian ,,nights1' p4 #afa ,,bedreddin ,,hassan ,,and ,,the ,,pastrycook ,illustration3 ,t4 ,,dalziel ,,dalziels'

,r4,a41 and ,mr4 ,h4 ,stacy ,marks1 ,r4,a4 ,other illustrators who owe much to the enterprise of this firm1 and who in turn helped to make its reputation1 include ,mr4 ,birket ,foster1 ,sir ,john ,gilbert1 ,r4,a41 ,mr4 ,george ,du ,maurier1 ,sir ,john ,tenniel1 and ,mr4 ,harrison ,weir4 ,it has been impossible to credit these engravers with their due share in every work mentioned in our pages1 because to do this would have necessitated1 in common justice1 a complete record of the other engravers also2 in itself enough to double the length of the chronicle already far too verbose4 ,the engravings in ,punch in its early years1 and the ,cornhill through its finest period1 were intrusted to ,messrs4 ,dalziel1 while of ,good ,words and ,the ,sunday ,magazine the choice of pictures and their reproduction alike were entirely under their control4 ,the ,dalziel ,brothers were born at ,wooler1 ,northumberland1 but spent most of their early days in ,newcastle-on-,tyne4 ,their craft was learned from pupils of ,thomas ,bewick4 ,in #ahce ,george ,dalziel came to ,london1 followed soon after by ,edward1 and later by ,john and ,thomas4 ,they were all draughtsmen as well as engravers4 ,thomas devoted himself entirely to drawing4 ,there was also a sister1 ',margaret' 7who died in #ahid71 who practised the art of wood-engraving for many years1 with results distinguished for their minute elaboration and fine feeling4 ,soon after settling in ,london1 ,george was associated with ,ebenezer ,landells 7who died in #ahfi72 and the brothers later became intimate with ,bewick's favourite pupil1 ,william ,harvey1 for whom they engraved many of his drawings for ,lane's ,arabian ,nights1 ,charles ,knight's ,shakespeare and ,bunyan1 and many other works4 ,still later they became acquainted with ,sir ,john ,gilbert1 and were 'the first who endeavoured to render his drawings throughout according to his own style of lining and suggested manipulation4' ,their effort was to translate the draughtsman's line1 not to paraphrase it by tint-cutting4 ,as a former apologist has written3 ',this has been called facsimile work2 but it is not so1 strictly speaking4 ,certainly1 whatever it may be called1 it required as much artistic knowledge and taste to produce a good result as the so-called tint-work against which they ,dalziel ,brothers have no word to say1 having practised that branch of art to a considerable extent1 as may be seen in hundreds of instances1 but perhaps most notably in the ,rev4 ,j4 ,g4 ,wood's ,natural ,history and ,the ,history of ,man4' ,the ,dalziels had clever pupils to whom they attribute most readily no little of their success2 of these ,harry ,fenn and ,c4 ,kingdon1 who both went to ,america1 may be specially mentioned4 ,but a record of so notable an enterprise cannot be adequately treated here2 yet a few authorised facts must needs find place4 ,did space permit1 the eulogies of many artists who were entirely satisfied with ,messrs4 ,dalziels' engraving could be quoted as a set-off to the few1 ,rossetti included1 who were querulous4 ,it would be invidious to pick out their best work1 but ,millais's ,parables1 ,birket ,foster's ,beauties of ,english ,landscape1 and the illustrated editions of classics3 ,don ,quixote1 ,arabian ,nights1 ,goldsmith's ,works1 ,the ,bible ,gallery1 etc4 etc41 which bear their imprint1 may be numbered among their highest achievements4 ,the share of ,mr4 ,edmund ,evans in many notable volumes that owe at least a moiety of their interest to his engraving1 and of ,messrs4 ,swain1 must needs be left without comment4 ,mr4 ,joseph ,swain contributed to ,good ,words in #ahhh some very interesting articles on ,fred ,walker1 ,c4 ,h4 ,bennett1 and ,g4 ,j4 ,pinwell4 ,these have since been issued in a volume1#ba with essays1 by various hands1 on ,frederick ,shields1 ,sir ,john ,tenniel1 and others4 ,it contains ninety illustrations1 including the rare early ',fred ,walker' from ,everybody's ,journal1 and specimens of ,mr4 ,shields's illustrations to an edition of ,the ,pilgrim's ,progress1 published 7apparently7 by the ,manchester ,examiner4 ,but so far as ,i know1 neither ,mr4 ,evans nor ,messrs4 ,swain 7in the sixties at all events7 projected works as ,messrs4 ,dalziel did2 and the appreciation which they merit1 in their own field1 would be unfairly recorded in a few
