Illustrated Children's Books from University of California Collections, 1550–1990

Welcome to Picturing Childhood, an online version of the catalog produced to accompany an exhibition held at UCLA at the Armand Hammer Museum of Art and Cultural Center, Los Angeles, April 16 through June 29, 1997. The catalog was published by the Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts and what was then called the Department of Special Collections at the University Research Library, UCLA. To obtain the published catalog, email UCLA Library Special Collections at spec-coll@library.ucla.edu. Production of this online exhibition was made possible by a grant from Lloyd E. Cotsen.

A Pinterest Board has been created that contains all of the images from this exhibition.
