For one night only, join V&A library and print curators in an intimate out-of-hours evening to celebrate the launch of ‘The Art of the Illustrated Book’ by Julius Bryant. Get up close to highlighted examples from the National Art Library collection to explore broader themes that are integral to ‘The Art of the Illustrated Book’, including religion, natural history, travels and art history, and explore a selection of illustrated books from the Middle Ages to today; beautiful and unusual, they all tell a story!
