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

POTTER, Beatrix
Marseilles, Genoa & Pisa: A Beatrix Potter Photograph Album: Representing a Pictorial Biography. 1998. 34,5 x 44 cm. Cloth. Illustrated throughout.
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. The photographs range from studio photographs of Beatrix Potter as a baby and toddler, to one taken in the year preceding her death. The original photographs were in a variety of media, ranging from albumin, bromide, and platinum prints, to the snapshot. They were captioned in pencil with identifications of some persons, of the locations and some of the dates in a hand similar in many respects to Beatrix Potter's, perhaps that of a relative. 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.
