This 1893 publication includes chapters devoted to early book illustration in Germany, Italy, France, Holland, Spain, and England. Pollard presents a history of book illustration in each country, details what distinguished the books from those being produced elsewhere, and offers an overview of specific books from various countries, such as The French Book of Hours. Lavishly illustrated with examples throughout, this important work will be of interest to students of art and history alike.
