Randolph Caldecott 1846 - 1886

Summary

Vignette: from left to right: a line-drawing of a dancing frog, wearing a tail coat, facing a dancing male mouse with his hands on his hips; the music for the revelry is provided by a female mouse, seated in profile, playing a lute; the forms of a flagstone floor are suggested. This work shares a mount with 1933.24, in a similar style by the same artist, for a single publication.
