Do you remember the first photos you took? 'Whippersnappers' is the first book to tell the history of children as photographers, from school societies in the 1880s, via post-war camera clubs and radical 1970s workshops, to the coming of digital cameras. Annebella Pollen shows how photography was presented and promoted to children - by camera companies, comics, and teachers - and how the children themselves chose to use it. They include the girls whose trick photographs of the Cottingley Fairies fooled the nation; and the family given cameras and limitless film for a year by a national newspaper.
