Journal Article
Frederick Lock's Scrapbook: Patterns in the Pictures and Writing in the Margins
2005
Overview
Immel describes the scrapbook made in the late 18th century by Frederick Lock when he was about five years old, specifically the patterns in the picture and writing in the margins. The process she describes opens out into a perfect metaphor for the art of book making with the child cutting up existing books to make a book of his own. He remarks it as unprepossessing but nevertheless richly suggestive, bearing witness to extraordinarily complex interactions between image, text, child, family, and culture in the process of becoming literate.
