Author: KINCHIN, Juliet & Aidan o'CONNOR
Title: Century of the Child - Growing by Design 1900-2000.
Description: New York, The Museum of Modern Art, 2012. 31 x 25 cm. 264 pp. Clothbacked boards. Illustrated in b/w and colour. - [...] Surveying more than one hundred years of school architecture, clothing, toys, children's hospitals, nurseries, furniture, posters, animation and books, this richly illustrated catalogue illuminates how progressive design has enhanced the physical, intellectual and emotional development of children and, conversely, how models of children's play have informed experimental aesthetics and imaginative design thinking - engendering, in the process, reappraisals of some of the iconic names in twentieth-century design and enriching the unfolding narrative of modern design with other, less familiar figures. - Corners a little bit bumped, otherwise a good copy
