Spine is faded, cloth has overall rubbing and soiling. Previous owners neat inscription inside front cover. Scattered foxing throughout. Still a charming copy. Arnaud Berquin (September 1747 in Bordeaux - 21 December 1791) was a French children's author. His most famous work was L'Ami des Enfants (1782-1783) which was first translated into English in 1783-1784. The work remained popular until the middle of the nineteenth century. Berquin's stories consisted of events that might happen to children in their everyday lives-they did not contain fairy tales or other imaginative literature. His books envision childhood reading as a familial exercise; for example, some of his "stories" are actually plays with parts for every member of the family. Berquin's books helped solidify the creation of the nuclear family, for "if Berquin's work has a theme, it is that parents and children live in a perfect symbiosis, the parents looking after their children's interests and the children, if behaving properly, filling their parents with joy.".

12 mo (7" x 4.25"), original full tree calf, morocco title stamp. Illus. title, iv, 203 pp., wood engravings throughout (some hand-colored later with varying quality). Early Ownership inscription of one "Catharine Floyd. Sen" in ink on ffep and on title reading "C. Floyd." CONDITION: Very good, some wear at extremities, splitting at front inner and outer hinges but binding intact, cracked inner front hinge but still mostly attached, one sprung gathering (pgs. 195202). With Wood engravings by Alexander Anderson, the "father of American wood-engraving." Alexander Anderson (1775-1870) was born in New York, the son of Sarah Lockwood and John Anderson, the publisher of the rebel newspaper The Constitutional Gazette. His artistic ability became evident at an early age and he soon developed a strong sense of art as a vocation. Nevertheless, his parents prevailed on him to study medicine, apprenticing him to Doctor Joseph Young at the age of fourteen. In 1795, he was appointed resident physician at Bellevue Hospital, during a yellow fever epidemic. The treatment options being limited, he witnessed many perish. Things turned worse still during another epidemic in 1798, during which he lost his wife, infant child, both parents, his brother, and most of his friends to the disease. Anderson left medicine soon afterwards and entered the field of professional engraving, enjoying a long and highly productive career. Anderson's contribution to the visual culture of the nineteenth century was enormous, his wood engravings (or stereotypes from them) illustrating countless publications.
