About the artwork
This page presents "Hey Diddle Diddle and Baby Bunting Pl.1" (1887), created by Randolph Caldecott. The catalogue places it in Illustration. The format is landscape. Illustration, a short history: The late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries are often described as a golden age of book and magazine illustration. Illustration serves a text or a story, a tradition that runs from decorated medieval manuscripts to printed book plates, magazines, and posters. About the period around 1887: The later nineteenth century is the era of Impressionism, whose first group exhibition was held in Paris in 1874, followed by Post-Impressionism, Symbolism, and the Arts and Crafts movement. Japanese prints reached Europe in large numbers and influenced many artists, while photography changed what painting needed to do.
"Hey Diddle Diddle and Baby Bunting Pl.1" is shown in the onlly.art catalogue for reference and browsing.
