What reading level is Social Pictorial Satire book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We must remember that there are no such things as lines in nature. Whether we use them to represent a human profile, the depth of ashadow, the darkness of a cloak or a thunder-cloud, they are mereconventional symbols. They were invented a long time ago, by adistinguished sportsman who was also a heaven-born amateur artist--theJohn Leech of his day--who engraved for us (from life) the picture ofmammoth on one of its own tusks.
And we have accepted them ever since as the cheapest and simplest way...of interpreting in black and white for the wood-engraver the shapesand shadows and colours of nature. They may be scratchy, feeble, anduncertain, or firm and bold--thick and thin--straight, curved, parallel, or irregular--cross-hatched once, twice, a dozen times, atany angle--every artist has his own way of getting his effect. Butsome ways are better than others, and I think Keene's is the firmest, loosest, simplest, and best way that ever was, and--the most difficultto imitate. His mere pen-strokes have, for the expert, a beauty and aninterest quite apart from the thing they are made to depict, whetherhe uses them as mere outlines to express the shape of things animateor inanimate, even such shapeless, irregular things as the stones on asea-beach--or in combination to suggest the tone and colour of adress-coat, or a drunkard's nose, of a cab or omnibus--of a distantmountain with miles of atmosphere between it and the figures in theforeground.
