Summary: Inspiration and Illustration history Galore
Review: You won't find a better overview of the history of American Illustration. Walt Reed has beefed up the number of illustrators and provided different examples of the ones from previous editions. Anyone who purchases this book will be rewarded with the knowledge that what these artists accomplished was not only beautiful to look at but also a record of the period that they lived. More books like this should be written. If there is anything to complain about,it is the resolution on a small few of the examples are rather fuzzy. This is a relatively minor matter but it is worth mentioning. Overall, this book is a must have especially to remember the "forgotten" illustrators who contributed so much.
