90 Years of Kinder book - The world of children traced through pictures and songs

Printing Museum
Finished
Kinder book was born as “Observational Picture Books Kinder Book” in November 1927 and will be turning 90 years old in 2017. It was an early forerunner of monthly childcare picture books that were distributed directly to kindergartens and has been closely connected to early childhood education for many generations. Looking back over the many years over which this magazine has been published, the lives of the people involved and the affection with which the creators addressed their readers is even now vividly conveyed. With the improvements in printing technology, photographs could later be included in addition to illustrations, which have been a feature since the very first issue. Combining photographs and illustrations, the expression has greatly changed over the decades. The world of Kinder book will be revealed here.
