Mary Spaulding and Penny Welch
"This beautiful book will appeal to anyone interested in children and in art from a historical viewpoint." -- Malcolm Hill -- Department of Social Work, University of Glasgow The book is utterly wonderful. -- Tom Morely -- Editor, Associated Medical Services, Hannah Institute for the History of Medicine, Toronto Every chapter is accompanied by illustrations taken from the collection. But the reader recognizes that the usual procedure is here reversed: the real illustrating is done by words, for the purpose of better understanding the pictures. The authors have achieved a solid work of information and interpretation within a highly readable text ... Whether or not [the readers] visit the collection, this book will leave their minds informed and their imagination enriched. -- Elizabeth Rapley, Department of History -- University of Ottawa The book is a rich and beautifully crafted storehouse. Every page is filled with familiar delights for me and others who feel at home with the Drake collection ... You have produced a jewel. -- Mary Geisler, longtime volunteer working with the Collection A beautifully produced book ... more than a catalogue, a fascinating history of the feeding of infants. -- Mary Ellen Avery, M.D., Harvard Medical School -- The New England Journal of Medicine
