The illustrators : the British art of illustration, 1800-2006

This is a fascinating catalogue, containing the wide range of artists and works now expected from the Chris Beetles Gallery, and its well-established annual exhibition of the work of some of Britain's best-loved illustrators.

Familiar and favourite illustrators are included from Mabel Lucie Attwell to Arthur Rackham, Beatrix Potter to Louis Wain.

Accompanying one of the year's most exciting exhibitions, "The Illustrators 1800-2007" includes academic essays, erudite biographies, full bibliographies and over 700 full colour images, representing the most comprehensive text on illustration published to date.
