Abstract
In 1946, That Baby: the story of Peter and his new brother, a pioneering children’s photo story book, promoting a child-centred focus and message, was published by Collins. Designed and produced by Adprint, the twenty-four beautifully reproduced colour photographs taken by renowned émigré photographer and cameraman Wolf Suschitzky in various London locations, including at the Hampstead Nurseries, run by Anna Freud, enrich and accompany the text, which was written by fellow émigré and child psychologist, Dr. Liselotte Frankl. The publication marked an innovative approach in the overall design and progressive narrative, which focused on understanding children’s developmental and psychological needs and reflected the uncertainties of childhood in a sympathetic and educational way. This essay considers the book’s storyline in conjunction with Wolf Suschitzky’s interest in documentary realism and Liselotte Frankl’s developmental child psychology work.
