Annual of the Society of Illustrators: 1911

Annual of the Society of Illustrators: 1911

The Society of Illustrators was organized in New York in 1901. Since that time its membership has steadily increased, making it a representative body in whose work we may study a very characteristic development of American art. Hitherto familiarity with that work has rested, as of course it must always largely rest, upon acquaintance with current books and periodicals; but now it is proposed that the Society shall have, in addition, a more personal means of affirming its principles. It appropriately marks the tenth year of its existence by publishing a book for which it is itself responsible. The present volume is the first in a series of "Annuals," which it is intended to issue henceforth. It is the aim of the Committee on Publication yearly to present in this way a collection fully expressive of the individualities concerned in its preparation. Each member has the privilege of sending in one drawing of his own choice - preferably unpublished - and no limitation of any sort is imposed, save, naturally, as to the mode of reproduction. Such a series should possess, I think, a distinct historical value, preserving from year to year the salient traits of our school of illustration, and exhibiting its progress. Its carries on, too, a clearly recognizable sequence. One of the most interesting things about the art for which this book stands is the fact that American illustration has a past, possessing landmarks if not traditions. It is pleasant and not unprofitable to glance at some of those. One instance in particular I have in mind of what was done long ago toward the formation of an American school of black-and-white.
