The eighteen nineties; a review of art and ideas at the close of the nineteenth century, by Holbrook Jackson
Holbrook Jackson's 1922 critical survey of English art and letters in the 1890s, published in London by Grant Richards for a general literary readership. The plates reproduce work by the decade's illustrators: woodcut title pages inside dense foliate borders, robed figures in flat black-line landscapes, William Nicholson's silhouetted poster portraits, and brush-and-chalk caricatures of men in evening dress — useful for ornamental frames, initials, and high-contrast figure silhouettes.
