A Note on the Rarity of Published Artwork of Children pre-1900

JF Ptak Science Books  Quick Post

I’ve written a number of posts in this blog about the great scarcity of the antiquarian published art of children (here) and couldn’t help but make a quick post of this very recent find.  It occurs in the page of the August issue of the London Punch, and even though graffiti, this is definitely the artwork of a child, crept into the page of a popular journal.  And as I say in a number of early posts, this work is really quite rare.
