Two books illustrated by him, priced at a shilling each, were published each Christmas for eight years. Caldecott's output, however, ranged wider than this: he illustrated novels and accounts of foreign travel, made humorous drawings depicting hunting and fashionable life, drew cartoons and he made sketches of the famous Parliament inside and out, and exhibited sculptures and paintings in oil and watercolour in the Royal Academy and galleries.
