illustrated fiction
Illustrated fiction is a hybrid narrative medium in which images and text work together to tell a story. It can take various forms, including fiction written for adults or children, magazine fiction, comic strips, and picture books.〔Sillars, Stuart, 1995, (''Visualisation in Popular Fiction, 1860-1960'' ), Routledge, ISBN 0-415-11914-6.〕
== Illustrated fiction in the 18th century ==
During the 18th century, fiction was usually published in three volumes. Apart from an occasional portrait or map, fiction was not usually illustrated, as publishers did not commission illustrations for new novels. In the novel ''The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling'', the author Henry Fielding refers to paintings by William Hogarth in order to explain what some of his characters look like.〔Cohen, Jane R., 1980, (''Charles Dickens and His Original Illustrators'' ), Ohio State University Press, ISBN 0-8142-0284-5, page 4.〕
Illustrations were commissioned for already successful books. These illustrated versions were usually published as limited editions and sold through prior subscription. Henry Fuseli created a single frontispiece for the fourth edition of Tobias Smollett's ''The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle''. Thomas Stothard provided several illustrations for an edition of ''The Vicar of Wakefield'' published 30 years after its first publication in 1766.〔
Near the end of the 18th century, new mechanical techniques allowed pictures to be printed cheaply. Illustrated classics became cheaply available, and were strongly remembered by their readers. John Ruskin was moved by illustrations of Robinson Crusoe crashing into rocks and escaping his wreck. Charles Dickens remembered the illustrations in many books more than the prose itself.〔
