As a non-artist or art historian I have no idea whether the examples of English graphic art that Tom Lubbock selected for this book of essays are worthy of the attention, but he is an engaging and interesting writer who is able to weave a fascinating tale around all of his subjects. Stained glass, chalk carvings, cartoons, book frontispieces, illustrated manuscripts and book illustrations, it's a real feast for both the mind and the eye.
