About this book
R. E. D. Sketchley wrote English Book-Illustration of To-day. The book is described as appreciations of the work of living English illustrators with lists of their books, with an introduction by Alfred W. Pollard. A note says the four articles and bibliographies contained in this volume originally appeared in The Library, and thanks the authorities and attendants of the British Museum.
The text says that in many illustrated books which have come down to us what must have been beautiful designs have been completely spoilt, rendered even grotesque, by the fine curves of the drawing being translated into scratchy angularities. The text says no artist nowadays need fear that his work will be made scratchy or angular by photographic process, and that the process block aggravates his defects only when he crowds lines together, from inability to work simply. The text says Mr. Frank Dadd and Mr. H. M. Paget made drawings for the Dryburgh edition of the Waverleys.
