註釋William Nicholson (1872-1949) achieved fame as a printmaker long before he became widely known as a painter. The bold woodcuts in his Alphabet brought him success with public and critics while he was still a young man and this series was followed by the equally popular Almanac of Twelve Sports, London Types and Square Book of Animals. But it was Nicholson's images of Queen Victoria, Sara Bernhardt, Rudyard Kipling and others that formed the cornerstone of his reputation and led to the award of a gold medal in Paris and a trip to the USA to portray celebrities such as Mark Twain and Theodore Roosevelt.
