Abecedaria! Fine Press and Children's ABC Books
Ernest F. Hollings Special Collections Library
February - April, 2013
This exhibition will explore how the alphabet has been treated and interpreted by educational publishers, children's authors and illustrators, artists, fine press printers, and other literary and historical figures. It will show historical and contemporary ABC books as well as examples of artists' books and contemporary fine printing, early schoolbooks and primers, and other graphic works that explore the nature, design, and meanings we place upon the 26-letter Roman alphabet.
