Before the mid-18th century there were very few illustrated books for children in England. The situation had changed by the end of the century. This talk will consider some of the illustrated books published for children between 1750 and 1850 from the Morgan Collection of Children’s Books at the University of Melbourne.
Merete Colding Smith (formerly Curator of Rare Books, The Baillieu Library, University of Melbourne) is undertaking a PhD and curated To all the Little Master and to all the Little Misses (1997).
