The work primarily focuses on the art and significance of various illustrators and illustrated periodicals from the 1860s, assessing their contributions to English literature and visual culture during this time. White reflects on how societal and aesthetic changes in this period influenced public perception of illustration and the artist's role. The opening of the volume sets the stage for a deep exploration of mid-Victorian illustration. Gleeson White expresses the need to reevaluate and appreciate the artists of the 1860s, who had once been overshadowed by painters but are now recognized for their merit in visual storytelling. He discusses the evolution of public interest in illustrations, linking it to a broader cultural shift that has made past styles and artists more appealing. This introduction suggests a rich examination of the art of the period and how it intermingled with societal trends, setting the groundwork for comprehensive discussions in subsequent chapters.
