Modern photography emerged in the 19th century and has been an integral part of books ever since. Although long overlooked and sometimes underestimated, photoliterature is nonetheless popular with children, and many artists have tried their hand at it.
From 1886 to 2021, these books bear witness to their era, to educational, aesthetic and political trends, as well as to technical advances in the medium. Amateur and renowned photographers alike - Robert Doisneau, Ylla, André Kertész, Ergy Landau, Sarah Moon - took up this format. Their work rubs shoulders with the texts of renowned authors - Marcel Aymé, Maurice Genevoix, Jacques Prévert, Susie Morgenstern, Timothée de Fombelle - and, together, they create surprising works.
This journey through 150 years of European and North American photo-illustrated literature will introduce you to a fascinating aspect of children’s book publishing.
