Title
Illustrated title page for "A Lover's Quarrel", in 'Last "Graphic" Pictures' by Randolph Caldecott
Description
A young man and a young woman hold hands as they walk through the countryside. Behind them to our left, the title for the story has been made out of branches that have been turned into letters - that are also branches for the hedgerow.
The "Q" is also a hole in the undergrowth that a rabbit (or hare) has run into. A dog runs beside them.
Handwritten text on the bottom left of the image reads,
"It was a very beautiful evening - "
Artist / maker
Caldecott, Randolph
Date
1891
Size
27.0 x 36.5 cm
Type
Chromolithograph
Location
Art and Design Library
While the individuals appear in pleasant demeanour, a small dog chases a rabbit through the 'Q' in 'Quarrel' which gives a slight nod to the squabble to come. The accompanying text reads 'It was a very beautiful evening.' This image was published as a series of four colour plates in the 'Summer 1884' edition of The Graphic. Due to the growing popularity of this strip, Caldecott had to submit the plates to the engravers more than six months in advance.
