A Handbook of Illustration

Note 6 — Chapter XI

Reading edition

Here, with all due deference, I may draw attention to the unpleasing effect of an illustration of elliptical or "cushion" shape, especially when mixed with letterpress on a book page, the general scheme of which is square or rectangular. Unless an irregular shape is for a special purpose desirable, it will be safer to keep the illustrations to a rectangular form.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
