First edition/first printing with full number line '10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1' on copyright page. Large-format illustrated hardcover in original unclipped dust jacket priced. A richly produced survey of American children's-book illustration through seventy-five years of Children's Book Week posters, spanning 1919-1994. The volume reproduces dozens of iconic posters by major illustrators including Maurice Sendak, Tomi Ungerer, Ezra Jack Keats, Richard Scarry, Jerry Pinkney, Jessie Willcox Smith, N. C. Wyeth, Chris Van Allsburg, Paul Rand, and many others. Leonard S. Marcus provides historical commentary and concise artist biographies alongside full-page color reproductions. The book serves both as a visual history of American children's publishing and as a reference work on twentieth-century illustration and graphic design. Book condition: Very Good+. Clean navy cloth boards with bright gilt spine lettering and minimal wear; interior clean and bright with no ownership marks noted. A few faint handling/scuff marks visible on cloth covers, chiefly rear board. Binding sound and square. Dust jacket condition: Very Good+, unclipped, with light edge wear and minor rubbing at corners and spine ends; small tape observed on the jacket interior (~1".) An attractive collector's copy overall. Leonard S. Marcus (b. 1950) is one of the foremost historians and critics of children's literature in the United States. Known for works such as Margaret Wise Brown: Awakened by the Moon and Minders of Make-Believe, Marcus has written extensively on the history of children's publishing, illustration, and literacy culture. His scholarship is widely respected among collectors, librarians, and historians of juvenile literature.…
