Description: | Despite the wide availability of other methods of reproduction, wood engraving remained the most popular medium for illustration during the 19th century. The process was relatively inexpensive, particularly after a fall in the price of paper and the development high-speed presses, which made it possible to produce large runs of illustrations. The images could be very detailed and a fashion for pictorial journalism developed from the popularity of the woodblock engraving. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Rogers, R | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
