A popular British children's picture book by Randolph Caldecott
The three jovial huntsmen
The Three Jovial Huntsmen (1880) was a popular British picture book illustrated by Randolph Caldecott, engraved and printed by Edmund Evans and published by George Routledge & Sons in London. The toy book, which is a variant of the folklore song The Three Huntsmen (sometimes called the Three Jolly Huntsmen), was well-received, selling tens of thousands of copies.
The three droll equestrians featured in the book are featured [1] as the logo of the Horn Book Magazine.[2][3][4] In 1914, four colour pictures from the book were reproduced by Frederick Warne & Co as postcards.[5]
