Nursery, rhyme, The Queen of Hearts, Caldecott

Front cover of The Queen of Hearts illustrated by Randolph Caldecott, showing the Queen of Hearts walking upon a carpet of playing cards and proudly displaying one of her famous jammy treats (soon to be unkindly stolen). The Knave of Diamonds shoots an arrow with, of course a diamond shaped tip, to spear an airborne heart, much to the horror of the Knave of Hearts who holds the Queens train. Caldecott's sixteen Picture Books were published annually, in pairs, from 1878 until his death
