The Era of Progress in Children's Literature,

EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating color lithograph on newsprint by Frederick Burr Opper, offers a humorous and imaginative depiction of the evolution of children's literature during the 19th century in America. This antique artwork, created in 1886 for the popular satirical magazine Puck, showcases a lively scene filled with iconic figures from children's stories and nursery rhymes. At the center, we find Aladdin's genie, proudly holding open a book, symbolizing the unlimited power of imagination and storytelling. Surrounding him, a diverse array of characters from various fairy tales and nursery rhymes make their appearance. Cinderella, in her iconic blue gown, sits next to a pumpkin coach, while Bluebeard's wife, with a terrified expression, stands next to her husband. Mother Goose, with her traditional cap and shawl, looks on approvingly. The boys in the scene are engrossed in the stories, their eyes wide with wonder and excitement. One boy, with a book in hand, is reminiscent of the character Tom Sawyer, while another, dressed in the attire of a country boy, is captivated by the antics of Mother Goose. The use of color and graphics adds to the whimsical and playful atmosphere, making this lithograph a delightful metaphor for the progress and evolution of children's literature during the 19th century. This historic artwork, now an artifact in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the importance of children's literature in shaping our cultural heritage. The humor and parody in Opper's illustrations continue to resonate with audiences, making "The Era of Progress in Children's Literature" a beloved and cherished piece of art and literature.
