The story of the illustrated book from the earliest printed books to the present day, told through the collections of the V&A's National Art Library. Throughout history, images have been used to reflect the meaning of words and to enhance our understanding of texts. With the invention of mechanized printing in Germany in the 15th century, illustrated books were no longer the preserve of the elite and became a source of knowledge, instruction and pleasure for a wider audience. Traditional accounts of the illustrated book survey its history in terms of technological advances, from illumination to hand-drawn illustrations and photography. This study offers a new approach, grouping books by subject - from natural history and travel to art, architecture and fashion. Gathered here are some of the most influential and compelling examples of the illustrated book, all chosen from the collections of the National Art Library at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. Each chapter starts with a general introduction to the subject, followed by key examples accompanied by narrative captions. The commentaries range beyond the illustrations to consider the whole book, the design, typeface, binding, inks and papers. Many of the books are not on display to the public and have been specially photographed for this volume. Most examples have been chosen for their significance, being innovative and beautiful. But humble books, often overlooked in histories, have also been selected, when particularly effective in their field, or simply memorable. From beautiful printed Psalters and Books of Hours, to striking natural history books such as Audubon's Birds of America, La Fontaine's Fables illustrated by Marc Chagall, Serlio's treatise on architecture and Owen Jones's Grammar of Ornament, this book gives a fascinating overview of some of the finest illustrated books ever created. In the face of recent pronouncements about the death of the printed book, this volume demonstrates the enduring appeal of the illustrated book.

Cet ouvrage se consacre à l'exploration et l'analyse de l'intermédialité et de la transmédialité à l'oeuvre dans le champ du cinéma d'animation. En se penchant sur les liens différents qui se tissent entre films animés, bandes dessinées et livres illustrés, ce recueil se déplace sur des espaces artistiques volontiers hybrides, où éléments visuels et textuels se conjuguent, se complètent et se répondent suivant des modalités spécifiques. Les créateurs, comme les uvres, passent alors d'un espace à l'autre, illustrant les liens forts et profonds qui fondent et forment les systèmes de circulation des images, réseau perpétuel que l'époque contemporaine ne cesse de réfléchir. Au-delà des liens féconds entre images fixes et images animées, cet ouvrage met ainsi en avant toutes les dimensions poétique et poïétique propres à l'animation
