Author Friedrich Bertuch published Children’s Picture Book in twelve volumes, from 1790 to 1830. It was issued in 237 fasciles, which subscribers then had bound on their own. Bertuch wrote in the introduction, “A picture book is no less an essential and indispensable part of the equipment of a nursery than the cradle, the doll, or the hobby-horse.” He believed that pictures should be “beautiful and correct”–and actually go along with the story, which wasn’t the practice at the time. Bertuch went against this convention. His book illustrated objects and he placed them in a seemingly random order, designed to maintain a child’s interest.
