Analysis of the children’s periodicals in the Museo del Romanticismo Library. Information retrieval and graphic documentation in the illustrated press

The information in the illustrated press is one of the leading documentary sources and so its retrieval is fundamental to researchers. The Museo del Romanticismo Library has six children’s periodical publications, acquired recently, which make up an important corpus on the matter. The analysis of these periodicals published in the second part of the 19th century will result in valuable contributions to a variety of fields: the history of illustrated press, periodic children’s publications, nineteenth century education, use and application of images and graphic documentation, as well as to specific areas such as literature, history, geography, travel, etc. An in-depth study is initially carried out on these publications and the information on authors, subjects and illustrations are retrieved in order to highlight and promote them
