Victorian mother about to read to children - 1867 Routledge Children\'s Stories Chromolithograph

Performing a literary text orally in a Victorian family is well documented. Apart from promoting a congenial family relationship, reading aloud was also a means of protecting young people, especially adolescent girls, from the danger of solitary reading. Reading aloud was a tool for parental guidance or supervision. Sometimes parents read books aloud to children and tested them on the content afterward; this served as the basis of home education. By means of reading aloud, parents could also introduce literature and the Bible to their children, and as such the practice conflated leisure and more serious purposes such as aesthetic and religious cultivation in youngsters. Interestingly, Within the family, it was commonplace for the father to read aloud. Although not mentioned as frequently (but often depicted in pictures), the Victorian mother was also keen to read to the family.

Print from the famous \"Routlege\'s Coloured Scrap-Book\" published in 1867 in New York and London. Routlege\'s books were classic children picture books. Pages were single-sided and made of HEAVY linen cloth. The original source of this page is a scare children\'s book with stunning chromolithographs. Subjects included: Nursery rhymes, animals, agricultural scenes and anthropomorphic animals.

The previously under-appreciated art of early children\'s book is just now being corrected. However, because they were for children, most have not survived in good shape, with may a pen or crayon scribble.

NOTE: Condition is fairly sound due to heavy linen cloth. However, at more than 150 years old, this civil-war era print does have some wear and tear and minor soiling. Please inspect picture for faults.

I will send a combined invoice reflecting your savings. The Nature of Prints & Engravings: It was not until the 20th century that prints were commonly produced for the print itself. Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
