Includes: Elements of Book Design and Illustration was exhibited in the M.E. Grenander Department of Special Collections and Archives from April - November 2002. All materials in the exhibit were curated from the holdings of the Miriam Snow Mathes Historical Children's Literature Collection by two University at Albany School of Information Science and Policy graduate students, Tracy Salvage and Karen Grimwood, under the direction of David Mitchell. This online exhibit includes selected images from among the over sixty titles included in the initial exhibit. Its goal is to highlight design and illustrations used in children's literature from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Special design features include a rich variety of endpapers, frontispieces, headpieces, tailpieces, and decorated initials. Illustrations were selected for their visual appeal and to convey the range of artistic styles and media inherent in antique children's books. The digital exhibit was created by Amy C. Schindler.
