Abstract

L’articolo esamina l’evoluzione dei pop-up books destinati all’infanzia, nel periodo compreso tra la fine del Settecento e la fine del Novecento e, in particolare, la personalità artistica di alcuni editori/paper engineer (Dean and Son, Lothar Meggendorfer, Ernest Nister, S. Louise Giraud, Vojtĕch Kubăsta). Il contributo illustra inoltre il funzionamento di alcuni dispositivi cartotecnici da loro progettati e realizzati. Resta deliberatamente escluso dall’indagine il pop-up book digitale, che presenta caratteristiche e problematiche diverse rispetto al libro cartaceo e che pertanto esulano dall’ambito di interesse del saggio.<br />The article examines the evolution of pop-up children books in the period from the late eighteenth century and the end of the twentieth century and, in particular, the artistic personality of some publishers/paper engineer (Dean and Son, Lothar Meggendorfer, Ernest Nister, St. Louise Giraud, Vojtech Kubăsta ). The contribution also illustrates operation of some devices. It remains deliberately excluded from the survey the digital pop-up book, which has different characteristics and problems compared to the printed book.
