review:
'Another World: Nineteenth Century Illustrated Print Culture' by Patricia Mainardi is a non-fiction book that sets out to find the origins of modern comic books and graphic novels.
Starting with the development of lithography, it is noted that this brought art and illustrations to the masses. It also brought the beginnings of caricature. Next up is the illustrated Press where newspapers begin including illustrations for stories. Throughout this is the very beginnings of sequential storytelling with pictures and illustrated novels for adults.
This was a fascinating look at a field of art development that I'm particularly interested in. There are lots and lots of examples along the way to show the progression towards modern comics.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Yale University Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
