The article on \u201cPaola Carrara Lombroso and picture postcards as educational products: a way to educate young readers and citizens of tomorrow\u201d, written by Sabrina Fava, was published in \u00abHistoria y Memoria de la Educaci\u00f3n<\/a>\u00bb, 19 (2024): 355-375,\u00a0 the academic journal of the “Sociedad Espa\u00f1ola de Historia de la Educaci\u00f3n<\/a>” (i.e., Spanish Society of History of Education –\u00a0SEDHE<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Sabrina Fava is Full Professor of History of Pedagogy and History of Children’s Literature at the Dipartimento di Pedagogia, Facolt\u00e0 di Scienze della Formazione, Universit\u00e0\u00a0 Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Milan, Italy. As an expert of the outstanding contribution provided by Paola Lombroso Carrara\u00a0 (1871-1954) to reading, literacy and children’s literature edcuation and promotion in rural schools at the beginning of the XX century, Sabrina Fava presents the project of postcards that were coloured and sold by pupils to raise money to fund small libraries, and analyses the features and characters of those postcards (that are available at the\u00a0School and Children’s Book Museum – MusLI\u00a0<\/a>in Turin).<\/p>\n

The author reflects on the role of postcards as powerful media, able to reach a wider audience both in terms of visual education and as swift communicative tool. In Italy, 1909, in\u00a0 the magazine for children \u00abCorriere\u00a0 dei\u00a0 Piccoli\u00bb\u00a0 (1908-1995), Paola Carrara Lombroso launched the project “Bibliotechine per le scuole rurali” (Libraries for rural schools), inviting its young readers to play an active role by colouring and selling\u00a0 postcards created by Italian artists, and then raising money to buy and donate books to rural schools. The article analyses a sample of postcards illustrated by well-known artists such as Mussino, Golia, Altara, Bologna and Gug\u00f9 in order to shed light on the way childhood was represented. Toys, books, expressions and clothes are visual evidence of the multiple perspectives.<\/p>\n
