Photography in Children's Literature is the first international study that examines the wide array of artistic techniques, topics, and genres used within photographic books for children. Covering a period from the 1870s to the 1980s, the collection offers multifaceted insights into changing perceptions of children and childhood during an era when the world changed in unprecedented ways. More than sixty full-colour illustrations demonstrate an impressive variety of genres, from ABC books, concept books, and country portraits to photo reportage and poetry. By discussing photographic books from ten countries and three continents, the collection offers an international scope, providing a glimpse into the production and reception of photography in children's literature in a range of contexts and cultures. Photographic books for children thus open new vistas for scholars interested in an interdisciplinary and transnational investigation of children's literature, text and images, across the centuries.
