Children’s Book Posters
A series of posters featuring the first chapter of three classic children’s books: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll; The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum; and Peter Pan, or the Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up (technically the name of the 1904 stage play; officially published as Peter and Wendy in 1911) by J. M. Barrie.
The poster for each work highlights the author, the original publication year, and the original publishing company. The full titles for each poster were set with wood and metal type, printed using letterpress, and scanned in to be digitally arranged. The illustrations were drawn by hand and then vectorized.
All three books are in the public domain.
Type lock-up of full titles for posters.
