Description

In 1904 the newspapers and the comic weeklies employed more draughtsmen than any moment before or since, and a young artist needed to know how the trade actually worked. Grant Wright wrote the manual: anatomy for people who must distort it, facial expression, perspective, memory drawing, colour technique, composition — and then caricature applied, with the modern masters of comic art examined one by one.What makes it last is that it treats caricature as a craft with rules rather than a knack. The examples are drawn from Du Maurier and his contemporaries, so the book doubles as a survey of the illustrators who shaped what a joke looked like on paper before photography took the page.This is a faithful print-on-demand facsimile of the 1904 New York edition, reproduced in full from a library copy. The historical text is reproduced without modification; only the format, margins and legibility have been reset for modern printing.
