Full Description

The 1860s are considered the 'Golden Age' of illustrated periodicals, a time when the 'knockabout' humour of the 1840s, which was dominated by illustrators such as Cruikshank, Doyle and Phiz, gave way to a more considered style grounded in serious artistic principles, allowing for deeper expression and emotion in artistic output. "Illustrated Periodicals of the 1860s" provides a new and informative approach to the study of 'sixties' periodicals, revealing the previously unstudied area of the complex interrelationships between the various parties involved in the production of these magazines: publishers, editors, artists, engravers and authors. The book considers the effects of these relationships on creative output, both artistic and literary, and in so doing provides a detailed, historical reconstruction of the essential character of the periodicals of that era. The book includes over 120 reproductions of engravings and preparatory drawings, almost all of them original size.
