that one so gifted should have passed away at the early age of 40 years . Mr . Caldecott was
1 / O «/ born at Chester in 1846 . Latterly he suffered much in healthand in the autumn of 1885 he
went with his wife , to Florida , expecting that he there wotdd recover the strength which
never , alas ! returned . His more familiar works began with the publication of his illus'
trations to Washington Irving ' s Old Chri stmas ' in 1875 ( Macmillan < fc Co . ) a book

Afterwards ' John Gil pin , ' 'The House that Jack Built / and 'The Mad Dog' gave an
impetus to his popularity . Mr . Caldecott's exquisite renderings of Georgian costumes , and
of the simple life of suburban London in the days «/ before villas , were universally appreciated — .
The success of his books was unprecedented , and the artist naturally followed them up
with others , notably a set of subjects on the humours of the hunting-field . These generally
formed the staple of his annual contributions to ™ ™ the ^ " ^ ^ ^^^ ^^ - ^ Christmas ^^^ ¦ ^^^ ^^ ^^ h » ^^^ ^^» ^^— ^^™ ™ ™ ^ ' i" — ' ^^ number ^^^ ^ " ^ ^^ ^^ i - ¦¦ ^^» ^—~~ of — ¦ the ^^ r ^^ w ¦ ^ p ^^ Grap ^^^» ^ ^^ ^ v ^ pr ^ hic - ^ - ~ - ~*^ r ^ . m The ^^^^ P . ^^ PIPIPV ^ PjpP ^
