     summary: If so, we have only to say, that if painting subjects in oils or water colour from the thousand and one hints to be gathered from history, fiction, or every-day life, be a test of _genius_, the walls of every summer and winter exhibition--to say nothing of the Royal Academy--would be furnished annually with examples from end to end. The second class, strange to say, rested their hopes in this instance on the singularly slippery basis of _soap_.

     summary: It is only by means of wood engravings, and the cheaper and simpler forms of process illustration, that the public is appealed to pictorially through the press. Other papers largely used for illustration in the type press have a _white grain_, a good specimen of which is on page 123; and there are variations of these white-grained papers, of which what is known in France as _allongé_ paper is one of the best for rough sketches in books and newspapers.

     summary: It would be impossible here to give a complete list of his productions, but mention may be made of his illustrations to _Peter Schlemihl, the Man without a Shadow_, and to Grimm's _Popular Stories_ (1824), which were so much admired by Ruskin; of his Illustrations of _Phrenology_ (1826), which marks his first appearance as an independent author; the famous _Mornings at Bow Street_ (1815); the _Comic Almanac_, which began in 1835; the series of etchings for the _Sketches by Boz_ (1836), and those for _Oliver Twist_ in _Bentley's Miscellany_ (1839), which led to his claim that he had originated the story--a claim that naturally put an end to his connection with Dickens. Onwhyn, who was the son of a bookseller, seemed determined to make a _specialité_ of Dickens' illustrations, for in 1838 he issued through Grattan no less than forty designs for _Nicholas Nickleby_, signed Peter Palette; while in 1848 he executed a second set of _Pickwick_ plates, which, in consequence of the republication of the earlier set, were not brought out till 1894, eight years after the artist's death.

     summary: Photogravure plates must be hand printed (photogravure printing on rotary machines is not considered here), and skill is required; for ordinary printing on good plate paper the price would be 10s. As already remarked, the majority of the earlier wood cuts and engravings are reproductions of line drawings, so that although we may admire and often marvel at the technical ability of the engraver, the credit for what artistic merit such illustrations may possess must, in the majority of cases, go to the draughtsman.

While the _Penny Magazine_ was yet in vigorous life, and the _Illustrated London News_ was as yet unborn, there used to be a weekly gathering of authors, actors, and artists, at a tavern in Wych Street, Strand, where the late Mr. Mark Lemon presided as the genial host.

His drawing is not intended as a permanent form of pictorial art, but as a suggestive sketch, which, while perfectly intelligible to the engraver, will be free from such intricacies in its composition as might interfere with its effective interpretation.

     summary: The introduction of the use of the copper-plate marks a new era in book illustration, but as regards their decoration, one of distinct decline. Able painter and designer as he was in his own way, the interest of his work is entirely on that side, and is rather valuable as illustrating the life and manners of his time than as furnishing examples of book illustration, and his work certainly has no decorative aim, although no doubt quite harmonious in an eighteenth century room.
