Abstract

the 1905 obituary of John McLoughlin, Jr. , in Publisher’s Weekly declared,“Every child in the land knows the McLoughlin books. . . . In fact,the history in the last decade of colored toy books for youngsters is the history of Mr. McLoughlin and his firm. ” McLoughlin Brothers held an important role in the children’s book publishing world. In fact,as my husband, the late Arthur Liman, and I discovered in our research, the firm was instrumental in creating it. The publisher’s preeminence in the field was the result of its entrepreneurial spirit,creativity,competiti- ness,foresight,and perseverance How was it,then,that Arthur—an intense attorney with character- tics similar to that of McLoughlin Brothers—ended up sitting behind a collectors’ convention booth selling children’s books and games,all the while reading a brief? Or charging at lightning speed,flashlight in hand, amidst rain and mud in the early morning hours,through a remote co- try antiques fair? Or mysteriouslyvanishing from a critical corporate c- ference to negotiate,instead,with a slightly disheveled dealer waiting in his office,or to aggressively bid by phone at a London auction? And what were all those mail ordercatalogs,letters of offerings,and bills of sale for Aunt Mavor’s Present McLoughlin Brothers books doing commingled with court papers? for a Good Little Girl Published by George Routledge & Co. , For twenty years, Arthur was this crazy closet collector. His London and NewYork big-deal clients could never have imagined where or how he spent his 1856 weekends.

Abstract

De auteur onderzoekt de genrekenmerken en gebruiksaspecten van het prentenboek. Hij plaatst deze boeksoort in een emancipatiorisch perspectief en verbindt haar met de grote sociaal-democratische projecten van cultuurspreiding en leesbevordering. Meer concreet onderzoekt hij de verschillende bemiddelaren tussen boek en kind: de uitgever, de literaire en educatieve kritiek, het onderwijs en de bibliotheek. Er ontstaat zo een breed en gedetailleerd panorama van wat er in de afgelopen decennia is ondernomen door overheid en particuliere instellingen op het gebied van lezen en kinderboeken, met de nadruk op het prentenboek, en wat hiervan de effecten zijn geweest.

Abstract

L'attrait qu'exercent les images sur les enfants et leur déchiffrement dépendent des multiples aspects de la forme et du contenu. Ces diverses questions sont analysées au départ d'éléments puisés, pour l'essentiel, dans la littérature scientifique (une bibliographie de 600 titres permet d'ailleurs d'utiliser cet ouvrage comme source de références concernant l'enfant et les images). L'auteur fait part de ses données expérimentales, recueillies dans des situations contrôlées de comparaison et de lecture d'images, utilisant plus d'une centaine d'images présentées hors texte.
