ILLUSTRATION Illustration occupied a central place in the
books, newspapers, and especially periodicals that served as the Victorians' major sources of information about current events and provided much of their leisure-time entertainment. Illustration both increased visual interest and provided needed expansion of texts for a newly emerging class of readers whose habits of visualization had been conditioned by the iconography of graphic satire. Change in illustration occurred as more and more illustrators received formal art education, and as narrative or genre painting, with its greater emphasis on subjects from daily life and simpler, more concrete expressions of reality, became increasingly popular. Illustration was also influenced by innovations in photography and the photomechanical transfer of images.
