XIX The magazine La ilustración infantil (Buenos Aires, 1886-1887) set a turning point for the 19th century Argentinian children’s publications by combining the logic of written culture with that of the visual culture, and by educating children to read images.

La revista La ilustración infantil (Buenos Aires, 1886-1887) representó un punto de inflexión en las publicaciones infantiles argentinas del siglo XIX debido a que emprendió la educación de la mirada atravesando la lógica de la cultura escrita con la cultura de lo visible. Esta operación representó un desacople respecto de la cultura letrada promovida entonces desde la escuela y, con ello, inauguró una nueva estrategia para convocar y configurar al público infantil: la lectura de imágenes. En este trabajo, enmarcado en la perspectiva glotopolítica, nos proponemos, en primer lugar, exponer las características materiales y estructurales del material exhumado. Luego, haremos foco en algunas secciones de la revista para dar cuenta de la articulación con su contexto histórico-político y ponderar su aporte específico a la serie de las revistas infantiles argentinas de fines del s.
