added to
the Picture Book Gallery
of the International Library
of Children's Literature
|
One of the new contents added on May 5, 2006 is titled "Children's Picture Books: The Transmission of Images." This is a database of about 2000 images from European picture books mainly of the 19th century, including "Beauty and the Beast" and "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." Another new exhibit, "Edo Picture Books and Japonisme," introduces ten illustrated story books of the Edo period (1603-1867) and two Western books influenced by Japanese art and crafts. All the pages of these books can be viewed with the readings in Japanese and in English. Commentaries on the books and background information are also available. The Picture Book Galley has three other items besides these newly-arrived ones. Please visit and enjoy it! |
