At the turn of the twentieth century; the demand for magazine and book illustrations was at an all-time high; offering women artists an unprecedented number of professional opportunities. This unique anthology features 120 color and black-and-white artworks by the Golden Age of Illustrations finest female illustrators; including Beatrix Potter; Kate Greenaway; and Jessie Willcox Smith. A career in illustration represented an ideal opportunity for women in post-Victorian society. Every well-bred girl was schooled in the arts of sketching and drawing; and by working at home; a womans modesty could remain uncompromised. Successful competition in a world dominated by male artists; however; called for determination as well as talent. This compilation celebrates the accomplishments of twenty-two female illustrators; including Elenore Abbott; Mabel Lucie Attwell; Elizabeth Shippen Green; Ruth Mary Hallock; Jessie Marion King; Dorothy Lathrop; Ida Rentoul Outhwaite; Margaret Winifred Tarrant; and others.

I had the impression that the book would be about how to catch children in new or interesting poses or activities; how to choose camera angles; that sort of thing. Unfortunately; but its mostly focused on camera settings -- too technical; and not necessarily applicable to all cameras. Not only that; but its small -- I should have looked closer at the specifications; but this is not a full-sized picture book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
