An engrossing survey of early “picture books, ” or illustrated books, these collected works examine the art of using illustrations to tell a story as well as discuss a range of other “bookish” subjects, such as illustrated bibles and printers’ marks—resulting in a charming portrait of the early days of bookmaking.
