Description: "The years 1855-80, generally referred to as 'The Sixties', saw some of the finest and most significant contributions to wood-engraved book and magazine illustration in Britain." "In this survey, Paul Goldman has selected 31 artists, including Edward Burne-Jones, John Everett Millais, William Holman Hunt and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who have created some of the most important illustrative work of the period. Devoting a chapter to each of the five groups of artists he identifies, from the Pre-Raphaelites to the Idyllic School and the High Victorians, Goldman provides a critical commentary on every artist, followed by a checklist of books they themselves contributed."--Back cover.

"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 variety of Victorian illustrative work."--Jacket.
