The use of illustrations was frequently seen in works of natural history. The illustrations produced during the eighteenth and nineteenth century are regarded as both appealing and scientifically valid. The finer detail of the printing processes, greatly improving at this time, allowed artists to depict the minute aspects of the subject.
Many books and publications continued to use illustrator even after printed matter began to incorporate photography. It would be many years before colour printing would equal the illustrators' plates.
Examples
