The Knave of Hearts returns the tarts he stole, in a picture-book illustration by Randolph Caldecott for the nursery rhyme “The Queen of Hearts.” From R. Caldecott's Picture Book (No. 2) , c. early 1900s

Randolph Caldecott was born today. 🎂

As the "father" of the modern picture book, #Caldecott handed the genre its script. His kinetic illustrations told the stories that the words left behind.
