Framed by a bracingly intelligent introduction and commentaries that challenge conventional notions about word/image relationships, the essays gathered here ground subtle arguments in detailed analyses of telling cases. The material is unfamiliar, the treatment eye-opening. * Elizabeth Cowling, University of Edinburgh, UK * Words and images meet, and they also converse, in this exhilarating collection. It makes its mark not just as a sequence of enthralling case studies but as a model for fruitful interdisciplinary discussion. * Stephen Bann, Bristol University, UK * A superb edited volume … Through their interventions as editors, Jordanova and Grant guide us through a series of thought-provoking topics. This is a book that asks us to think about why people put bookplates in their personal libraries, why we keep photographs, how popular illustrated journals function, and much, much more. * Stephen Norris, Miami University, USA *
