<br>
Gascoigne's book is a good resource; I also recommend the
Graphics Atlas: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.graphicsatlas.org/">http://www.graphicsatlas.org/</a>, especially the
comparative feature. For a historical take on illustration in
the 19th century, John Harthan's <i>History of the Illustrated
Book </i>is excellent. He is also better on dates than
Gascoigne, which can be helpful in ruling out processes. If you
need more resources, I recommend the reading lists for the
courses on illustration at Rare Book School have some good
recommendations: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.rarebookschool.org/courses/">http://www.rarebookschool.org/courses/</a>. <br>

Dear Mary,<br>
<br>
I have found that Bamber Gascoigne's <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.thamesandhudson.com/9780500284803.html"><i>How
to Identify Prints</i></a> is an invaluable resource for
identifying printing processes from all time periods (although
19th century processes can be particularly difficult to
identify). It would also be worthwhile to invest in a loupe and a
handheld 30x microscope with a light if you plan to identify book
illustrations often.<br>
