"English Book-Illustration of To-day" by R. E. D. Sketchley is a collection of critical essays and bibliographies focusing on contemporary English illustrators, written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the artistic achievements of living illustrators, examining their contributions to various genres of literature, including children's books and decorative arts. The text also provides contextual appreciation for the evolution of book illustration by contrasting it with historical references and techniques. The opening of the book introduces the author's intent and the structure of the compilation. Sketchley acknowledges the support received from institutions like the British Museum and outlines the division of the work across several chapters, each dedicated to different categories of illustrators. The introduction sets the tone for the exploration that follows, hinting at the connections between past techniques and modern styles, while emphasizing the importance of character and thematic expression in illustration. Through this framework, readers can expect a thoughtful analysis of how modern artists engage with the field of illustration and the continuing legacy of artistic books.
