About the work
Randolph Caldecott (1846 – 86) was an illustrator and artist best known for his children’s picture books. The Graphic was a newspaper founded in 1869 as a competitor to the Illustrated London News. It was known for its high quality of illustrations, which Caldecott contributed to from 1872 to 1886. He wrote illustrated both semi-factual observational travel pieces and fictional comics and stories. Caldecott’s illustrations were often printed in colour, or his signature brown, which made them stand out amongst the black and white of the rest of the newspaper.
