FOOTNOTES:

[Footnote 1: The drawing, _A Debating Society_, was very well engraved on wood by J. D. Cooper, and appeared in _London Society_ in 1871, v. xx. p. 417; it is now reproduced on a larger scale by a mechanical process of photo-engraving. Experts in drawing for book illustration may be interested to compare results.]

[Footnote 2: In a private letter to the writer of this memoir, dated 2nd November, 1876, Caldecott says:--"Pen can never put down how much I owe, in many ways, to T. A."]

[Footnote 3: _The Harz Mountains, a Tour in the Toy Country_, by Henry Blackburn. London: Sampson Low and Co., 1872.]

[Footnote 4: This, and other similar sketches, caused amusement in some circles and offence in others, at Berlin, where it was stated erroneously that the artist had caricatured some well-known personages who came annually to Goslar to drink the waters, and an arrangement to publish a translation of the _Harz Mountains_ into German fell through in consequence.]

[Footnote 5: Amongst the young artists in the art department of _Harper's Magazine_ in 1873, was E. A. Abbey, the well-known illustrator of old English subjects; in later years a great friend and ally of Caldecott.]

[Footnote 6: The drawings in the _Daily Graphic_ in New York were all reproduced by photo-lithography, and printed at the lithographic press.]

[Footnote 7: It was more than once suggested to Caldecott to paint this scene. It would probably have been attempted had circumstances permitted.]

[Footnote 8: The medallion at the head of this letter was designed by Sir Frederick Burton and afterwards redrawn for the Arts Club by E. J. Poynter, R.A.]

[Footnote 9: _North Italian Folk_, by Mrs. Comyns Carr. London: Chatto and Windus, 1878.]

[Footnote 10: _Breton Folk_, by Henry Blackburn, with 170 illustrations by R. Caldecott. London: Sampson Low and Co., 1880.]

[Footnote 11: This letter was printed in the _Manchester City News_, 20 February, 1886.]

[Footnote 12: The portrait of Caldecott at the beginning of this volume, is from a photograph taken at Cannes in January, 1879.]
