To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But about those books, or rather the illustrations in them, very little comparatively has been written; written, that is, by the men who made them. Nor did most of the draughtsmen and engravers describe their methods of work. There are today endless ways of reproducing and printing illustrations. Artists seem to think that anything can be reproduced and printed without any training, without any technical knowledge, with- out any thought of the chemical, photographic, or engraving and printing p...roblems which are involved, but in every print, in every book, when the results are not good, the artist is blamed. And this Is not sur- prising, because the artists of America mostly know nothing about the crafts; yet the engravers know little, and the printers do not care, most of them. This condition of affairs has been brought about because of the lack of proper technical art schools in this country and a want of interest in technique on the part of artists, and it is the want of technical schools which we must fill.
