Deciding the subject I was going to research wasn't really that difficult for me as I already felt that I had a real passion for black and white illustration. Therefore, when I met up with my tutors, Julia and Chris, our discussions focused on how I was going to narrow down this broad topic. Chris suggested focusing on the three ‘B’ Masters, Aubrey Beardsley, Edward Bawden and Thomas Bewick. I liked this idea as it meant I had more direction for my research and I felt it was a good starting point that could lead into researching more modern artists that use a similar technique. We next talked about looking at the history of different processes of black and white printing, going back to the first style of woodcutting and following this how it has developed over time.
