Abstract
The publication draws on and expands Jung's eminent studies on the complexities of eighteenth-century print culture and visual cultures in Britain, such as The Publishing and Marketing of Illustrated Literature in Scotland (2017) and James Thomson's "The Seasons,"Print Culture, and Visual Interpretation, 1730-1842 (2015). A few illustrations of bestsellers appear to have been simply copied, due to a lack of any copyright regulation. [...]Robinson illustrations, in particular, could serve as teaching material for illustrators in other countries who imitated them but also distanced themselves from established paradigms and selected new scenes and themes for illustration. The book is a rich resource for anyone interested in word and image studies in the eighteenth century and offers a taste of more in-depth studies on cultural exchange currently underway.
