8 January to 16 February 2008
Walter Crane (1845-1915) and Randolph Caldecott (1846-1886) are acknowledged as the two 'founding fathers' of the modern children's picture book in Britain, if not the world, and this touring exhibition is a selection (approximately 40 images) from their nursery books published in the 1870s and 1880s.
The exhibition is not simply a collection of these beautiful and imaginative children's illustrations by two Victorian masters. It is intended that the show will be supported with books, musical instruments and large format 'sing-along' panels.
This is a touring exhibition from Graphicus Touring. For details of this and other Graphicus exhibitions visit:
