?As any individual masterpiece can be illustrative so can the illustration become a real masterpiece in itself. Including illustrations for children I have to add. Almost every masterpiece of the Middle Ages can be regarded as an illustration e.g. Giotto frescos. Today however none would consider them illustrations.?
