Acknowledgements
This book, and the diffusion of the critical analysis it contains, would not have been possible without the precious contribution of the many publishers of non-fiction picturebooks who gave us permission to reproduce images taken from their titles. For those publishers that in spite of all efforts we were not able to contact, Edizioni ETS apologize and remain available for any further request. We really wish to thank all of them, and more specifically:

We also wish to thank three institutions which allowed us to do the necessary research for this project:
