Iranian illustration challenges your preconceptions
Sandwiched between the children’s publishers and the comics area in Hall 3.0 is a hidden treasure - the Iranian Institute for the Intellectual Development of Children & Young Adults (3.0 H345) stand. Iran has a rich history of book illustration, and the artworks on display are intricate, sophisticated and of considerable variety.
The stand also displays a wide range of different Iranian children’s books and is also selling postcards and prints of the work of Iranian illustrators.
If, like me, Iranian children’s publishing is something of a blank page for you, then you’re in for a very pleasant surprise.
