He also explores the cultural notion of \"the child within\" and how this has contributed to the way adults perceive children. The result is a text far broader in scope than any other in its field, as art history is interweaved with contemporary popular culture to explore how we visually represent childhood. In doing so, the book highlights the real-life implications that these representations have on children's rights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Duncum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350299936\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350299931\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Visual Arts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/10\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.76h x 7.32w x 0.79d","brand":"Paul Duncum","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45476888445183,"sku":"9781350299931","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_59344a82-6738-4770-8deb-7e333f9c78b0.jpg?v=1715918442","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/images-of-childhood-paul-duncum-9781350299931","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
