A belated Happy Birthday, to you!

BTW, you share your birthday with illustrator Randolph Caldecott!

Born in Chester, England (1846). While he was working as a bank clerk in Manchester, Caldecott began drawing for local magazines. After making connections with other artists, he turned professional and moved to London, where he began drawing for the popular magazine Punch. He illustrated Washington Irving's Sketch Book (1875) and Bracebridge Hall (1876). But he's best remembered for his colored picture books for children, and for the medal for excellence in children's book illustration that bears his name.
