Summary: The book approaches illustration history as a field involving various disciplines: art, literature, publishing, book design and history in general. Starting from a multi-language bibliography, the author considers the role of illustrations in constructing an Italian identity between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the creation of new visual and cultural stereotypes, the development of a more popular world of publishing, and the increase of illustrations of a 'true to life' type.
