About the work
This drawing is an illustration for the book Clara Button and the Magical Hat Day set in the Victoria and Albert Museum and published in 2011. This work shows façades of five most famous London department stores: Selfridge's, Fortnum & Mason, Liberty, Harvey Nichols and Harrods, which the characters passed by on their way to the Museum. Emily Sutton was born in Yorkshire and graduated with a B.A.(Hons.) in Illustration from Edinburgh College of Art in 2008. She specialises in illustration of children's books and draws her inspiration from 20th century illustrators and the tradition of naïve painting such as exemplified by 'Le Douanier' Rousseau.
