"A Handbook of Illustration" by A. Horsley Hinton is a manual that discusses the art of illustration, mainly from the perspective of the late 1800s. It talks about how illustration has changed over time, especially with photography and printing becoming more common. The book looks at different kinds of illustrations like maps, diagrams for science, and art, and how they help explain things in books and other places. Hinton stresses that illustrations should be correct and easy to understand, rather than just looking pretty. The author sets the stage for teaching various methods and techniques to effectively show ideas visually.
