Illustrations

Commercial illustration was the dominant visual medium for most of the 19th and 20th centuries, produced for magazines, satirical weeklies, and general-interest publications before photography took over the page. The work ranged from sharp political cartooning to glamour art, with artists like George Petty defining entire visual genres. Period pieces from this tradition are original works of graphic art, printed and distributed in their own time, not later reproductions.
