ABOUT CELLO PRESS LIMITED

I have worked in publishing since I graduated with a history degree from Cambridge University in 1991. After a few years doing my fair share of photocopying and re-writing press releases, I served time on a series of business titles as a sub-editor, features writer and news journalist.

My salary rises were accompanied by substantially larger jumps in expenditure as I became increasingly addicted to collecting illustrated books. My credit card statements now contain a comprehensive Who�s Who of illustrated antiquarian book dealers. If I have missed anybody out, I apologise. Rest assured that this omission stems from lack of time, not inclination.

Cello Press Ltd - Publisher

Illustration is published by Cello Press Ltd, which also publishes Printmaking Today.

The aim of the magazine is simple. We wanted a general magazine about illustration - the artists, the collectors, the collections, the exhibitions, the history, the philosophy and the key events relating to this subject. We wanted to discuss the work of great artists from the past as well as new graduates currently coming out of college. We wanted to explore children�s book illustrators alongside those who work on adult novels and classics - or even political manifestos and train timetables. We wanted to consider the humorous, the serious, the sinister and the surreal.
