Verlagsinformation :: Publisher's information

This digital resource showcases a broad range of richly illustrated primary source material which reveals the history and literature of childhood between the 1820s and 1920s. Rare books and unique works of art trace the development of children's publishing from early mass-produced items through to the flourishing print culture that followed.

These documents chart how society evolved and how the perception of children within it changed over time.

Alongside the focus on America, this resource includes foreign language publications and European publishers, enabling research across the globe. The diverse documents in the collection highlight how children's literature crossed the Atlantic, taking renowned international writers and illustrators to an American audience.
