Note to Parents and Librarians: Text and images from all books presented in this library are safe for all ages.
In the selection of the books exhibited, we emphasize book illustration, illumination and design over literary content. Consequently, this library is not an alternative to public libraries for providing a wide array of genres for reading.
Of the books selected for presentation, all are complete from the first to the last page.
Most books from this collection are from the Victorian period, the Arts and Crafts Movement, the Pre-Raphaelites, etc. From the 19th century through the first quarter of the 20th century, including English and American Private Presses, some are examples of Gift Book, a genre that became very popular in the Victorian England.
We also started including British Victorian illustrated children books and American illustrated children books of the same period, some of them are already online, more will follow very soon.
A never-ending work-in-progress, new books are added every week from our collections. As avid book collectors, acquisition activities insure a steady growth of this online library. Owen Jones, Walter Crane, Evelyn Paul, Kate Greenaway and Alberto Sangorski are artists whose works are currently available to visitors.
