Update: American Heritage And Its On-Line Failings

The Article which I spent two afternoons (including today) clawing through old hard-copies to find. (Scroll down to the bottom!) Alas, the illustrations (the WHOLE POINT of the article!) have not been digitally reproduced.

The practical upshot: a century and a half ago, the mass media trend was illustrated newspapers, the more elaborate the graphics the better. On the West Coast of America, a start-up paper couldn't afford to hire a professional artist, so instead of emulating the trend, they lampooned it by using stock woodcuts (their generation's CLIP ART!) with off-the-wall captions. I wanted to know if there was a terminology for this method, but there wasn't one mentioned in the article. I guess I'll settle for John Phoenixism or Phoenix's Pictorialization.

Meanwhile:
