INTERPRETING ILLUSTRATIONS: Period journal and newspaper illustrations are notorious for attempting to squeeze in as much information as possible in the given space. Therefore it is never a good idea to use them to judge distance and space. However, they can provide useful clues. COMMENTARY: Share your comments by e-mailing edinterpcomm Posted 13 May 2005. |
