“Sacontala” & “A Spill Case,” Comparison of Woodcut and Steel Plate/Intaglio Engravings, 1825 Forget Me Not & 1830 Comic Annual
Subject
Literary Annual Defined
Description
Though the paper size evolves through the life of most literary annuals, the printed space, the printing plate, remains octavo and the page begins to incorporate large margins around the text blocks in 1825 with The Literary Souvenir. This was done to facilitate printing, and for some, printing on India paper and tipping-in engravings that were larger than the text blocks, all of which signals the eventual shift away from the annual’s literary contents towards its visual contents. (from Harris' Forget Me Not: The Rise of the British Literary Annual)
