"The Story of the Charmed Fawn," 1850-1858
01
Artifact Overview
As a teenager, John McLoughlin, Jr. (1827-1905) learned wood engraving and printing at his father's New York publishing firm. Around 1850, he took over the business and capitalized on an emerging children's market with "toy books" like this one. Its cover image is hand-colored, but McLoughlin would soon become well-known for his skillful use of new color printing techniques.
