Abstract
Picturebooks present a unique challenge in their treatment of temporality. Firstly, the flow of time is depicted with the aid of a sequence of pictures, backdrop details, the illustration of clocks, the multiple presence of one agent in the same picture or his/her double depiction in different ages, as an older internal narrator and a younger hero. Secondly, a series of visual devices permits the depiction of rapid flow of time in static pictures. Thirdly pictures illustrate simultaneous facts through the device of split page. And finally, past and future events are depicted in pictures mainly through techniques lent from cinema or photography, like the use of black and white pictures for past events, or comics, like thought balloons.
