Arnaud Berquin September 1747 in Bordeaux - 21 December 1791 was a French children's author. His most famous work was L'Ami des Enfants 1782-1783 which was first translated into English in 1783-1784. The work remained popular until the middle of the nineteenth century. Berquin's stories consisted of events that might happen to children in their everyday lives-they did not contain fairy tales or other imaginative literature. His books envision childhood reading as a familial exercise; for example some of his "stories" are actually plays with parts for every member of the family. Berquin's books helped solidify the creation of the nuclear family for "if Berquin's work has a theme it is that parents and children live in a perfect symbiosis the parents looking after their children's interests and the children if behaving properly filling their parents with joy.

Alexander Anderson 1775-1870 was born in New York the son of Sarah Lockwood and John Anderson the publisher of the rebel newspaper The Constitutional Gazette. His artistic ability became evident at an early age and he soon developed a strong sense of art as a vocation. Nevertheless his parents prevailed on him to study medicine apprenticing him to Doctor Joseph Young at the age of fourteen. In 1795 he was appointed resident physician at Bellevue Hospital during a yellow fever epidemic. The treatment options being limited he witnessed many perish. Things turned worse still during another epidemic in 1798 during which he lost his wife infant child both parents his brother and most of his friends to the disease. Anderson left medicine soon afterwards and entered the field of professional engraving enjoying a long and highly productive career. Anderson's contribution to the visual culture of the nineteenth century was enormous his wood engravings or stereotypes from them illustrating countless publications.
