American graphic art
American graphic art by Frank Weitenkampf, published in New York by H. Holt in 1912, a history of American engraving and book illustration. The pictures are reproductions of prints and drawings, several rotated on the page, showing wood engravings, etchings and lithographs of rural and urban scenes, ships, and scenes from novels. A designer can take from them the tonal range of nineteenth-century line work, with dense hatching for shadow and open white ground for light.
