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.
