The style of English and French pen illustrations is relaxed and humorous, and the outline of lines reflects that life in that era is not urgent or slow. The illustrations in circles depict the local customs at that time, the clothes of men and women at all levels, and the social panorama of people's communication, all of which are full of interest and sense of humor. Beautiful and spicy, French and British pen illustrators are good at drawing!

The following is a master woodcut illustrator. He is a great painter, Fritz Eichenberg, who painted woodcut illustrations for the greatest British sisters in the19th century: charlotte bronte and emily bronte's (Jane Eyre) and (Wuthering Heights).
By the time of this great painter, the prosperity of the book publishing industry had been transferred to the United States, and Europe had experienced economic prosperity for centuries. The book publishing industry flourished in the17th century and the 20th century before World War II. However, on the whole, Britain has experienced two world wars, and its economic capacity and external expansion capacity are not as good as before. A large number of published classic books have flowed into and sold to the United States.
The United States is an independent continent, and it experienced few setbacks in the war. It also earned war money, so the United States rose rapidly in the local publishing industry and attracted a large number of outstanding European artists to work in the United States.
Fritz Eisenberg is a German Jew. He died in 190 1 year-1990. He was born in Cologne, Germany. We observe the genes of Germans, and from the sense of nationality, Germans are serious, good at thinking and serious.
In the early 1940s, Fritz Eigenberg left Germany to immigrate to the United States in order to avoid the persecution of the war. He came to the American Book Club to draw wooden illustrations, 1943, published by Rand Bookstore (Jane Eyre). The board illustrations inside were painted by Fritz Eisenberg:
His painting style highlights the spiritual storm, using the standard woodcut art form to express the inner turmoil of the characters, and using the slightly exaggerated expression form and strong black lines to express the inner contradiction, gloom and injustice. In the painting style, the Victorian Gothic landscape description is used to balance the soul of the characters and the struggle of the status quo. So strong and impactful, his works can be recognized at a glance. He drew many beautiful illustrations for the famous works of world-class writers such as Poe, Tolstoy, Turgenev and Dostoevsky!
