Angela Griffith and Philip McEvansoneya discuss some highlights from an exhibition celebrating Irish artists’ engagement with publishing in the period 1830–1930.
This autumn the Long Room of the Old Library at Trinity College Dublin will host an exhibition entitled Drawn to the page: Irish artists and illustration 1830–1930. The exhibition is devoted to the period known as the heyday of European book and periodical illustration and foregrounds the important contribution made by Irish artists. It will include examples by both familiar artists such as George Petrie (Fig 6) and less familiar—but no less interesting ones—such as Francis S Walker and Mabel Annesley (Fig 2&3).
