Harper is a comprehensive guide on illustration techniques and practices, written in the late 19th century. This instructional work explores the evolution and application of pen-drawing in the context of modern reproduction methods. The book addresses not only the technical aspects of drawing but also the artistic sensibilities necessary for effective illustration. The opening of the handbook delves into the historical context and significance of illustration, particularly highlighting the shift in the role of illustrators with the advent of photo-mechanical reproduction techniques. Harper reflects on the challenges illustrators faced and outlines the qualities that define successful pen-drawing. He emphasizes the importance of mastering both technique and artistic expression, suggesting that aspirants to the craft should understand the principles of beauty and decoration inherent in the art form. The passage sets the tone for a detailed exploration of not just how to draw, but how to adapt one’s drawing to the requirements of reproduction processes, ensuring that artistic integrity is maintained in modern illustration.
