Not on view
Woodroffe illustrated his first book for children while a student at the Slade School of Fine Art in London in 1895. Throughout his career, he often collaborated with his childhood friend, composer Moorat, on books of songs; the two lived next door to one another in the Cotswolds. The whimsical designs that Woodroffe devised for "Thirty Old-Time Nursery Songs" demonstrate a range of influences from Walter Crane to Beatrix Potter.
