The pieces are largely drawn from Tom Lubbock’s weekly \u003ci\u003eGreat Works\u003c\/i\u003e column for the \u003ci\u003eIndependent\u003c\/i\u003e, with some longer pieces originally published as reviews or catalogue essays.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe historical span of the book is broad – from the Uffington White Horse to the Winchester Psalter \u003ci\u003eHellmouth\u003c\/i\u003e to Harry Beck’s London Underground Map and beyond. The high point of English Graphic art in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century makes up the heart of the book, with Fuseli, Blake, Bewick and Palmer all the subject of extended essays.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fifty or so images range from the visionary to the empirical, from folk art to caricature. Connecting and overlapping ideas on line and shape run through the book; maps, islands, clouds, swarms, wombs, skins, dots, contours and boundaries. Energetic, coherent and strange, \u003ci\u003eEnglish Graphic\u003c\/i\u003e presents an electrical storm of ideas and illuminations provocatively argued by one of our most brilliant writers on art.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lincoln, Frances Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47044930044144,"sku":"9780711233706","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780711233706_p0.jpg?v=1763622481","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780711233706","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
