Bookseller, publisher and printer since 1875, Emmanuel Vitte (1849-1928) became in 1903 a supplier of textbooks to Catholic schools and publisher of school books in the L'ÉCOLE LIBRE collection.
Wanting to be a classic bookseller, the Vitte house works with independent schools, that is to say those which claim to be defenders of religious education.
A text, published in 1903, is indignant at the political will to separate church and state. As such, it is therefore incumbent on Catholic publishers to make available to students and teachers classics imbued with the Christian spirit in order to nourish and develop religious feelings in children.

"My First Little Book" perfectly conveys this idea of education.
