Not on view

The developments in children’s illustration in England by artists such as Walter Crane and Kate Greenaway were greatly admired in France. Their stylistic influence is evident in the work of Franc-Nohain, who began her career as a magazine illustrator. This journal was the first book she fully designed. It contains sections to record important events and milestones in the life of a baby.
