| |  | | | In Brief
Victorian artists Walter Crane, Randolph Caldecott, and Kate Greenaway produced a number of picture books that involved imaginative re-creations of childhood scenes. With the help of virtuoso color printer Edmund Evans, they elevated the form artistically and enjoyed great popularity. In this study, Lundin (children's literature, U. of Wisconsin-Madison) examines the history of the critical reception of these books in the last quarter of the 19th century.

This book explores the contemporary response to the picture books of three pioneer Victorian illustrators of children's books: Walter Crane, Randolph Caldecott, and Kate Greenaway. Over a century after their first printing, the picture books are striking—breathtaking in their line, color, and design. In the first chapter, the author frames "the horizons of expectation"—the context of assumptions and values—that shaped the way picture books were read and reviewed by their audience. The next three chapters examine, respectively, critical reception to the picture books of Crane, Caldecott, and Greenaway. Each chapter is organized by a brief chronicle of the individual's renown and early career, a survey of reviews related to his or her children's books, and a summary of reputation over the last century. The focus is on picture books, although other illustrated works are discussed. The final chapter positions the three artists in relationship to each other and examines the historiography of the trio's canonization. The two appendixes trace the illustrators' reputations through obituaries and subsequent visibility of their work in critical studies, reprints, awards, and other image-making events. The role of librarians, booksellers, and publishers was critical in making these names prominent through the twentieth century. The book illustrates that reputations are made, not born, and many cultural mediators are at work in the marketplace of children's literature.
