Beschreibung

The rare, pre-book published, full set of the original and famous Caldecott illustrations (13) to "Diana Wood's Wedding" from the Christmas Number of The Graphic, 1883, including the famous (full page) horse-drawn carriage wedding scene. These are classic Caldecott illustrations, produced towards the end of his life and demonstrate his mastery of line and subtle colouring in evoking a really charming period piece. They also show that he had studied Muybridge's Horse in Motion (1878) as the horses' legs are depicted accurately. Clean, near fine condition, comprising four large leaves (15.75 in. high), eight pages, four of which contain the Caldecott illustrations. The other pages carry text and advertisements but as the paper quality is very good, there is no show-through. A very scarce item. See similar Caldecott in The Graphic prints for sale.
