Randolph Caldecott
Randolph Caldecott (1846-1886) was a renowned British illustrator and artist, best known for his contributions to children's literature in the late 19th century. His distinctive and dynamic illustrations adorned books such as "The House that Jack Built" and "Sing a Song for Sixpence," significantly influencing the development of children's picture books. In honor of his legacy, the Caldecott Medal was established in 1938, awarded annually to the artist of the most distinguished American picture book for children.
