Picture and Text by Henry James
"Picture and Text" by Henry James is a collection of essays published in 1893 that explores the art of illustration and its relationship to written work. James profiles leading illustrators of Harper and Brothers while examining how pictures and words interact. The collection includes acclaimed essays on John Singer Sargent and Honoré Daumier, alongside discussions of black-and-white illustration and theatrical scenery. Though originally conceived as promotional pieces for artist friends, these essays
reveal James's broader vision of unity among the arts and his concerns about visual elements overwhelming literary and dramatic expression. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
