ANDERSEN, Hans Christian
Little Rhymes by Hans Christian Andersen, with Little Photos by Harald Paetz. 2002. 15,5 x 14,5 cm. Cloth. Illustrated. 24 pp
This beautiful facsimile volume represents the first ever printing of Andersen's Fotograferede Bornegrupper in English. This book is a collaboration between Andersen, who wrote the verse, and the famous early Danish photographer Harald Paetz. The illustrations in the book are albumen prints of posed and costumed children and they depict scenes of play and home life. Little Rhymes is an extremely important book in the history of children's literature and photographic illustration as it represents the first children's book in the history of photography to be illustrated with photographs of live subjects posed dramatically. Extraordinarily rare, the book remains an astounding and surprising venture between a world-famous author and an innovative photographer. This is the only facsimile edition of this important work, and it is the first -and only- time it has been translated into English. With an introduction by Mus White and a brief bibliography of related works

COHN, Don J
Virtue by Design: Illustrated Chinese Children's Books from the Cotsen Childrens Library 2000. 29 x 21 cm. Paperback. Illustrated throughout. 90 pp
The Chinese holdings of the Cotsen Children's Library consist of more than 35,000 items from mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. The collection comprises the entire range of printed matter a child might encounter in his or her daily life. Primers, textbooks, song books, arts and crafts handbooks, dictionaries, supplementary readers, wall posters and slides from the school classroom, comic books, magazines, newspapers, riddle and puzzle books, board games, cigarette cards, and cram-school manuals for extracurricular reading are all part of the library's Chinese collection, as are nursery rhymes, fairy tales, science fiction, and adventure stories for bedtime reading. The collection spans four centuries, from the late Ming dynasty (1368-1644) to the present day. Virtue By Design concentrates on illustrated books, periodicals, and other printed matter, presenting more than 200 pictures arranged chronologically. The principal criteria for the selection of the pictures are visual interest and the power of the illustration to represent a particular period, ideology, concept, or political movement. These pictures chronicle the history of Chinese society, revealing the values, fashions and tastes of the time. They also provide information about social class, discipline, etiquette, family structure, dress, architecture, and cuisine.One particular aim of the Chinese collection of the Cotsen Children's Library is to show the impact of politics on children's books published from the late "Mao Zedong period" (1949-76) to the "Deng Xiaoping period" (1978-present). Both regimes are amply represented in the present book

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.

Introduction by Ivy Trent. This facsimile edition reproduces photographs, mostly attributed to Potter's father, amateur photographer Rupert Potter, in an arrangement telling the story of her life.

This facsimile will be a source of pleasure to Beatrix Potter's many admirers of all ages and a resource for all those interested in this fascinating artist and storyteller.

SHEFRIN, Jill
Neatly Dissected for the Instruction of Young Ladies and Gentlemen in the Knowledge of Geography: John Spilsbury and Early Dissected Puzzles. 1999. 19 x 23 cm. Hardcover. Photographs and illustrations throughout. 40 pp
John Spilsbury, who styled himself an "Engraver and Map Dissector in Wood, in Order to Facilitate the Teaching of Geography," is credited with the invention of "dissected maps"•hand-colored maps, printed from copper plates, which were mounted on thin sheets of mahogany and cut into pieces according to the political borders of the region mapped. The discovery of an extraordinary set of five of John Spilsbury's dissected puzzles, and its acquisition by the Cotsen Children's Library•Los Angeles has provided a valuable opportunity to reassess Spilsbury's intention and the place of dissected puzzles and other geographical pastimes in the history of education in eighteenth-century Britain. This study of the context in which these puzzles first appeared reveals the extent of the links between the children's book and map trades in 18th-century London, and sheds new light on the history of progressive British education during that time."[A] well-documented discussion of (for many readers) an unfamiliar form of publication." T. H. Howard-Hill, University of South Carolina, Editor, The Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America.

SHEFRIN, Jill
Such Constant Affectionate Care: Lady Charlotte Finch - Royal Governess & the Children of George II. 2003. 28 x 22,5 cm. Hardcover. Illustrated throughout. 168 pp
Color photographs, illustrations, and reproductions. Taking as its starting point the set of sixteen dissected maps belonging to the children of George III , this work examines the new trends in education exemplified by the practices of the royal nursery and its governess, Lady Charlotte Finch.
The author establishes a relationship between Lady Charlotte and Mme Le Prince de Beaumont, the French governess and author of the Magasin des Enfans (1756). Le Prince de Beaumont is newly identified as the first person to be selling dissected maps, or cartographical jigsaw puzzles, several years before the map seller John Spilsbury. The educational environment in which the royal children played with their educational toys is recreated from a wide range of contemporary sources. Locating these dissected maps within the domestic context of the royal household allows a re-examination of the historiography of the use and development of educational toys. The discussion ranges over new trends in educational theory and practice including the evolution of rational domesticity and the increasing involvement of aristocratic mothers in the care and education of their children. The influence of Mme Le Prince de Beaumont, and Lady Charlotte's upbringing and her place within a circle of intellectual women are examined. A bibliographical history of the individual puzzles is included, as is the delightful text of the Prologues and Epilogues to the 1732 children's performance of Dryden's Indian Emperor, in which Lady Charlotte and her siblings performed and which was recorded by William Hogarth in his painting of The Conquest of Mexico, Act IV, Scene IV, from Dryden's Indian Emperor. The text is reproduced, together with the painting, at the end of the work.
"... a visual delight... Jill Shefrin has produced an enjoyable and unusual book of cultural history... deal[ing] with broad trends in family life (pedagogy, the education of women, and the workings of hierarchy and patronage) and illuminat[ing] them through domestic detail, through unpublished texts, letters by and about children, and through surviving toys and educational games." University of Toronto Quarterly (74, 1, Winter 2004/5).
