児童読物 大正13年
A 1925 Japanese catalogue of children's reading materials, compiled by the children's department of the Hibiya Library and published by Sanseido in Tokyo for young readers and librarians. The first picture is a stylised cover of a toddler in a rocking chair reading a book beneath two stars, with bold Chinese-style characters running down the left; the second is a sideways black-and-white photograph of a library reading room with tall wooden shelves of books and a seated reader. A designer might take the flat, high-contrast cover lettering and the rocking-chair reader as a model for simple, graphic children's-book covers.
