	On Assignment: American Illustration 1850 – 1950 Classical literature, romantic best-sellers, cowboy adventures, historical fiction, frothy short stories about high society—all these and many more were the assignment of the working illustrator during a century of profound cultural change.  Illustrations captured telling moments of the written narrative, and individual illustrators were often sought out by editors and recognized by readers.
