Curator's tour: Emma Jameson on An Overture to the Text

Illustrations have traditionally been viewed and treated as 'craft' as opposed to art objects in their own right – an issue much debated in the 19th century with the rise in popularity of illustrations.

Join Assistant Curator Emma Jameson for a tour of her new exhibition An Overture to the Text which provides an in-depth investigation into a series of illustrations, analysing their visual features and what these communicate.
