DISPLAY: Nursery Classics: Frederick Warne's Fine Art Picture Books

By the end of the century Warne's catalogues included such illustrators as Edward Lear, Walter Crane, Randolph Caldecott, Kate Greenaway and Leslie Brooke. In 1901 a little known illustrator, Beatrix Potter, approached the firm with a story of a naughty little rabbit; The tale of Peter Rabbit (1902) was an immediate success and assured Warne’s presence in children’s publishing to date. Displays complement our permanent collections; there are many free temporary displays around the V&A. They range in size from a single case to a room.
