The First Picture Book: Everyday Things for Babies
by Edward Steichen & Mary Steichen Calderone
Buy on AmazonThis is one of the first children’s books to be illustrated with photographs. It’s a charming book, with still lifes of simple objects—a teddy bear, a comb and brush, shoes and socks, a toothbrush in a glass. Steichen made it with his daughter. She wanted to interest her small children in pictures by showing them things that were part of their world.
