Beschrijving
Randolph Caldecott (1846–1886) was a British artist and illustrator. He was greatly influential as an illustrator of children's books, but also exhibited sculptures and oil paintings at the Royal Academy and was elected to the Royal Institute of Watercolour Painting in 1872. This biography first appeared in 1886.
Published soon after his untimely death, this spirited memoir of the artist and illustrator Randolph Caldecott (1846–1886) will appeal as much for its value as a portrait composed by a close acquaintance, as for the many drawings it contains. Written by Henry Blackburn (the editor of the London Society, 'an illustrated magazine of light and amusing literature' to which Caldecott contributed a number of drawings), it uses a style similar to that of Caldecott himself, who often peppered his papers, personal letters to family and friends, and even official documents with small sketches. These would take as their subject some humorous remark, or simply illustrate the content of the text. Beyond illustration (in which he was highly successful) Caldecott had a varied career as a sculptor and oil painter (exhibiting at the Royal Academy) and as a watercolourist, being elected to the Royal Institute of Watercolour Painting in 1872.
