I'm trying to find out more about who drew the line drawings of older dictionaries - in particular my 75 year old Funk and Wagnall.
Is there a specific name for the artwork included in dictionaries?
Look at the front of the dictionary by the publisher's name and it should also list the name of the illustrator. The pictures are simply called illustrations as far as I know.
Reply:I don't have a copy to look at to be sure, but most likely the illustrations are woodcuts, or etchings, or other types of prints, possibly (probably) by several diffrent people.
*shrugs* If you're looking for something "in the style of," googling woodcuts, (copper) etching, or linoleum prints might help.
