This display will be in place during the Movable Book Society Conference in Boston, MA.
The display will include:
The Children’s Haggadah, Dr. A.M. Silbermann, ed., London: Shapiro Vallentine, 1948, 3rd ed. Printed by N.V. Enum, Amsterdam. 8 color illustrations by Erwin Singer.
This volume was first published in Germany in 1933. At that time, it was the first children’s Haggadah published in Europe. In this volume the Haggadah is followed by nine songs (lyrics and music).
Six Years, Thomas McCarthy, St. Paul, MN: Traffic Street Press, 2004. Designed and hand-produced by Paulette Myers-Rich; letterpress printed, hand bound in limited editions, and signed by the poet. The layout of the poems in this volume echo traditional design of Irish broadsides. The tall, slim accordion-style binding encasing this poem is a fitting choice: it underscores the musical metaphors in the poem and suggests to us the movement of the accordion so often used in traditional Irish music.
Quinn-dex: You See the Fingers Move, a flipbook copyrighted in 1922 by Marcus Lucius Quinn. The book is billed on the cover as: “the first employment of moving pictures in teaching piano and organ.” Mr. Quinn ran the Marcus Lucius Quinn Conservatory of Music in Boston, MA.
