🖍️ We just released an illustrated (!) video podcast with Illustrator, writer and scholar DB Dowd examining fascinating aspects of the historical development of illustration.

This richly illustrated conversation begins with an examination of relief prints and woodcuts in ancient China and Japan before moving to printing and platemaking in early modern Europe, followed by an exploration of the role of illustration linked to more recent developments such as illustrated news, recreational reading, ad-driven consumer culture, advertising, social media and propaganda.
