More about the book

The study explores the impact of book illustration on the dominance of written narratives, focusing on the dynamic between novelist Honoré de Balzac and illustrator J. J. Grandville. It highlights how the industrialization of illustrated books created a collaborative relationship among publishers, writers, and illustrators, shifting the perception of books from individual artistry to a collective commercial endeavor. This transformation reflects broader changes in the publishing landscape during that era.
