The First Picture Book for Children
In 1658, John Comenius created Orbis Sensualium Pictus, which translates to The World Around Us in Pictures. Comenius was a teacher from what is now the Czech Republic and he published his book in Latin and German, though it was a huge hit so it was quickly translated into English as well. Like so many teachers, he created his own resources to help his students learn. He created a book with 150 illustrations to make it engaging and accessible to learners of all ages with the idea that engaging the senses would help students learn. In the book, he covered a range of topics including animals, nature, the elements and religion. Interestingly while it was extremely popular and numerous copies were printed and distributed, not many are around today. That is because Orbis Sensualium Pictus was a book that was used in children’s daily education rather than stored on the shelf and through that process of repeated use, the pages were torn and bindings worn out.
