Larry Rakow is the owner of Wonderland Books, dealing in old, rare and collectible children's books since 1990. In addition to Newbery and Caldecott winners, pop-up and movable books, Little Golden Books, and assorted titles from the Golden Age of children's literature, Larry's inventory also includes a wide variety of kid-lit-related ephemera, including posters. Children's Book Week posters started to appear exactly 100 years ago, in 1919, and have featured the artwork of a veritable Who's Who of children's illustrators ever since, beginning with Jessie Willcox Smith and ending, this year, with an 12-panel poster featuring the best of contemporary illustration. Join Larry for a history of Children's Book Week posters and a look at the artist who created them over the past century.
