George Du Maurier: Illustrator, Author, Critic: Beyond Svengali

Though well-known as the author of Trilby and the creator of Svengali, the writer-artist George Du Maurier had many other accomplishments that are less familiar to modern audiences. This collection traces Du Maurier's role as a participant in the wider cultural life of his time, restoring him to his proper status as a major Victorian figure. Divided into sections, the volume considers Du Maurier as an artist, illustrator and novelist who helped to form some of the key ideas of his time. The contributors place his life and work in the context of his treatment of Judaism and Jewishness; his fascination with urbanization, Victorian science, technology and clairvoyance; his friendships and influences; and his impact on notions of consumerism and taste. As an illustrator, Du Maurier collaborated with Thomas Hardy, Elizabeth Gaskell and sensational writers such as M. E. Braddon and the author of The Notting Hill Mystery. These partnerships, along with his reflections on the art of illustration, are considered in detail. Impossible to categorize, Du Maurier was an Anglo-Frenchman with cultural linkages in France, England, and America; a social commentator with an interest in The New Woman; a Punch humourist; and a friend of Henry James, with whom he shared a particular interest in the writing of domesticity and domestic settings. Closing with a consideration of Du Maurier's after-life, notably the treatment of his work in film, this collection highlights his diverse achievements and makes a case for his enduring significance.

Sporting life: An anthology of British sporting prints

British Museum

Published for the Trustees of the British Museum by British Museum Publications

The 1860s saw a veritable explosion in British publishing and illustration when many of the greatest Victorian artists created memorable designs for poetry, novels, children's books and religious literature. In this study, Paul Goldman reviews the work of renowned Pre-Raphaelites like Millais and Rossetti and also of unjustifiably neglected artists such as G. J. Pinwell and Thomas Morten. The richness and variety of the Sixties is demonstrated in over 90 illustrations which show some well-known names such as George du Maurier in an unexpected light and include fascinating examples of early drawings by Edward Burne-Jones and work by such diverse artists as Poynter, Leighton, Whistler and Charles Keene.

History

BRITISH MUSEUM

Is a work of art still a work of art if it exists in several hundred identical examples? This illuminating introduction to masterpieces of printmaking reveals why prints can be considered to be every bit as original as any other visual art form. Offering a fresh look at printmaking, this stunningly illustrated book explores through magnified details the subtle differences in texture, shading, line, tone and colour that an artist can achieve in engravings, etchings, lithography and screen printing. The book discusses forty-five individual prints to highlight the genius of major historical and contemporary printmakers such as Dürer, Rembrandt, Goya, Cézanne, Edward Hopper and Chuck Close. Master Prints Close-Up also includes a glossary of printmaking techniques, together with indicators for recognising them.

John Everett Millais (1829-96) is less well-known for his designs for illustrations even though he made 400 over a period of 30 years. This book reveals the variety and quality of Millais' illustrations through reproductions of drawings, watercolours, wood-engravings, and printed books and periodicals.

Devoting a chapter to each of the five groups he identifies, Goldman provides a critical commentary on every artist, followed by a checklist of the books they themselves illustrated or those to which they contributed.More detailed bibliographic information is included in an index of illustrated books arranged by author. This index also contains locations of copies in public collection in the UK, USA and Australia. The index of magazine illustrations, arranged chronologically within each periodical, gives the precise date and position of all the magazine designs mentioned.This is an authoritative and descriptive reference work for all scholars in the field, and is illustrated with over 230 black and white illustrations which capture the delicacy and the variety of Victorian illustrative work.Each of the 100 copies of the limited edition includes three separate prints made from original Victorian wood-blocks. The prints are contained in a sleeve which is inserted in a slipcase with the book.

Many of the terms applied by art historians and curators to describe prints, drawings, and watercolors are not readily understood by the majority of exhibition visitors and art enthusiasts. These terms can also be difficult to find in reference books. This publication, which is part of the popular Looking At series of art glossaries, defines and illustrates in one portable volume the most commonly used technical terms related to these three media.
