As the 19th century came to a close newspaper editors clung to the notion that photographs were stark, unimaginative representations, and preferred sketches for publication in their newspapers. The processes for illustrating newspapers had advanced, and the dark blotchy images of the 1860s had given way to detailed, artistic representations in the form of black and white line drawing with great detail. This work tells the story of the history of art and newspaper illustration, outlines the processes, and provides over 200 examples of sketches drawn between 1896 and 1898.
