Über meine Bibliothek
I have several early picture books; as well as illustrated story books; several children's poetry anthologies; and several illustrated music books (especially for the first three levels or grades). I have always loved to read and to craft; so the imagery is often used in my crafting. I have several favorite illustrators, many of whom I found through the educational readers. I wish all on-line book stores and libraries included a search feature for illustrators as well as authors.
Über mich
I began collecting vintage illustrated children's books when I began posting almost daily on Flickr a year ago. Since I am mostly interested in the images, I prefer books dated in the 1910s, 20's and early 30's. I occasionally will collect children's health, arithmetic and readers from the early 1940's. It amazes me how many publishers took great care in hiring artists from the "golden age" of illustration when it came to making appealing primers and readers for the youngest of children. I am lucky to find many of these treasures locally, and have ordered quite a few from on-line sources such as Abe Books and Etsy vintage. Since "vintage" is the operative word, only a very few have actually been ordered from Amazon, though that is the main source of my family's recreational reading materials.
