Description

Lunagirl PictureBooks: Caldecott's Nursery Books. 16 Complete Books in digital format. Illustrations and text pages.

100s of images taken from the complete collection of 16 antique Caldecott nursery books, printable for cards crafts altered art scrapbooking.

Beautiful illustrations featuring nursery rhymes, animals, Victorian children, ladies & men. Many are in color, many are line drawings with a sepia tint. Many have text of the stories and rhymes.

Randolph Caldecott's picture books were among the favorites during the Golden Age of Illustration. Although most people are aware of the prestigious Caldecott Medal, awarded annually to the artist of the most distinguished American picture book for children, and the Caldecott Honor Book awards, fewer are familiar with the artist for whom it was deservedly named.  Every Christmas, from 1878 until his death in 1886 at the early age of 39 Caldecott released two picture books of nursery rhymes or stories. Each Christmas the release of the two books was eagerly anticipated, as Caldecott delighted the 19th century public with his exquisite illustrations of nursery rhymes and childhood stories.  The Complete Caldecott contains all 16 Nursery books by Randolph Caldecott.
