COTSEN CHILDREN'S LIBRARY
Catalogue of the Cotsen Children's Library : The 20th Century, A-L (vol. 1) 2000. 32 x 24 cm. Cloth. Illustrated throughout. 656 pp
In fall 1996, the Cotsen staff began compiling a multi-volume book catalogue of the research collection, with support from the Department of Rare Books and Special Collections and the Technical Services Department of the Princeton University Library. When complete, this catalogue will describe that portion of the non-circulating collection of printed books which the donor Lloyd E. Cotsen has gifted to Princeton University up to the year 2000. The material will comprise approximately 23,000 items out of a total of over 60,000 in over thirty languages published during the fifteenth through twentieth centuries. Two volumes of the catalogue have been completed thus far. In May 2000, volume I, the twentieth century A-L, was published, and in December 2003, volume II, the twentieth century M-Z. 12,403 books are described there, with detailed notes on their illustrations, contents, bindings, and previous owners. As so many children's books appear without dates of publication on their title pages, every attempt has been made to assign an accurate date of issue based on internal evidence and authoritative reference sources in print and on-line. Designed by Mark Argetsinger, the text of each volume is lavishly illustrated with over one hundred and fifty illustrations in duotone and process color and printed on Mohawk Superfine paper. The volumes are bound in olive green Japanese cloth with the front covers stamped in gold and full-color patterned endpapers.

Part I of the Catalogue is divided into separate sections covering original artwork, manuscripts, printed ephemera, photographs, books, and commercial merchandise (such as the unique Jemima Puddleduck doll pictured below). Each item in the collection is described in detail, and many of the items are pictured as well. Part II includes complete facsimile reproductions of the thirty picture letters included in the collection that Potter wrote to some of her many young friends. The volume also contains an Introduction that provides a brief overview of the Potter collection's place in the larger whole of the Cotsen Children's Library, and offers readers a brief-but remarkably informative and detailed-account of Beatrix Potter's life and work The volume is concluded with a bibliography, a list of illustrations, and a detailed index.                                                         
The Beatrix Potter Collection of Lloyd Cotsen was published in an extremely limited edition of 500 copies.
