Since photography's invention in the early nineteenth century, the medium has produced countless thought-provoking images. The Library of Congress holds more than seventeen million photographs in its collections, ranging from some of the earliest images ever taken to photographs by artists working today. The Joy of Looking: Great Photographs from the Library of Congress presents a selection of striking photographs that deserve a closer look.Both familiar and less well-known photographs appear in this volume. Dorothea Lange's 1936 portrait of Florence Owens Thompson, commonly known as "Migrant Mother," is widely celebrated for humanizing the plight of struggling migrant workers during the Great Depression. Others, like street photographer Anthony Angel's lively series of two women sitting on a New York City park bench in 1952, were unknown during the photographer's lifetime and deserve greater attention. The Joy of Looking invites you to explore the myriad ways the photos in this collection can be experienced. Explore shape and movement; light and darkness; color and textures. Consider connections and conversations between photos. The longer you look, the more you'll see.About the Series: Collection Close-Ups celebrate the diversity, breadth, and depth of Library of Congress collections by gathering about 100 items around a common theme or set of characteristics. These short, affordable, and accessible books bring Library collections to life through historical anecdotes, colorful images, descriptive captions, and sidebars.

With more than half a million children’s books in its collections, the Library of Congress has everything from beloved classics to forgotten treasures ready for rediscovery. These range from an early American edition of John Newbery’s Little Pretty Pocket-Book to twentieth-century classics introducing familiar characters such as Dorothy and Toto or Frog and Toad. In addition to books, the Library holds original artwork by illustrators Jerry Pinkney and Vera B. Williams; manuscripts by pathbreaking authors Virginia Hamilton and Jade Snow Wong; and influential magazines such as St. Nicholas and The Brownies’ Book—not to mention the nation’s largest public comic book collection. Tell Me a Story reimagines the canon of American children’s literature, in the process highlighting the evolution of literary, artistic, and publishing trends. From classic books and award-winners to little-remembered gems, this engaging volume features more than two hundred children’s books, original artworks, and manuscript pages, all created, read, and sold in the United States from the eighteenth century to today. With a foreword by National Ambassadors for Young People’s Literature Mac Barnett and including poignant contributions from former Ambassadors reflecting on their own inspirations, this book will charm readers of all ages.
