Reason
Caldecott is really notable, William Cowper, while a bit out-of-fashion, possibly for good reasons (he pads a bit) is highly notable, and even Edmund Evans, the publisher is notable. This is the first two images from the set, provided to allow initial comments before I finish it. I intend to finish the colour illustrations next, then the black and white. The article discusses the illustrations.
  • Question: Aren't they a bit pale? It's more the other images on that page are too dark and over-saturated. I have the book. There's a strong tendency for people to do that sort of edit if they don't work against the originals.
