The book explores the development of illustrated journalism, detailing the evolution of pictorial representations in news media from early news-books to the establishment of illustrated newspapers. It provides insights into cultural tastes and the significance of visual storytelling in conveying contemporary events. The opening of the work establishes the universal appeal of pictorial representation, noting how societies, throughout history and across cultures, have sought to depict natural objects, greatly aided by the advent of the printing press. Jackson discusses early forms of news dissemination and how illustrated tracts emerged alongside traditional texts. He emphasizes the idea that the rise of illustrated newspapers, particularly after the abolition of censorship bodies like the Star Chamber, revolutionized public access to news, tying the desire for news to the everyday lives of people. The chapter sets the foundation for a detailed examination of specific developments and influences that shaped the pictorial press throughout history. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
