ILLUSTRATED BOARDS. Condición: Fine. Reprint. The son of a Chester shopkeeper, Randolph Caldecott left his chosen trade as a bank clerk in Manchester (he called this work "quill driving") to use his pen to better effect in the competitive world of book and magazine illustration. With a useful introduction to the artistic world o…f du Maurier and Whistler, he was able to carve a successful career, which resulted in some of the most outstanding children's book illustrations of any period. A contemporary of Walter Crane and Kate Greenaway, he was eventually adopted by Edmund Evans, the London printer who had done so much to promote the work of these two himself. Comparisons were inevitable, but upon publication the plaudits fell to Caldecott, the Times reviewer said "In a few strokes, dashed off apparently at random, he can portray a scene of incident to the full as correctly and completely, and far more lucidly than Mr Crane". In all sixteen of his picture books were published and first editions of these in very good condition command major sums. I am listing three of these now scarce reprints on this site. This copy has almost imperceptable sunning to the spine but is otherwise in FINE condition in illustrated laminate boards as issued. Ref SS 7 Size: 24pp.
