The Centre for the Children's Book Vision Document

Original artwork by Quentin Blake, consisting of 15 black and white and one colour drawing, used to illustrate the Centre for the Children's Book [now Seven Stories, the Centre for Children's Books] Vision Document, published in 1998. The file also contains a letter from the designer of the vision document, Ian Butterworth.

The contents of the file constitutes an almost complete suite of original artwork for the vision document, missing only the original artwork for the three drawings which appear on the first page of the document. These appear to have been reproduced from digital copies supplied for an article on the Centre published in 'The Guardian' in 2002.

Commissioned by the Centre for the Children's Books [now Seven Stories, the Centre for Children's Books] and created by Quentin Blake in 1997.

Illustrations are arranged in the order in which they appear in the vision document; where an illustration is used more than once in the document, it is ordered according to the first page it appears on. The letter from the designer follows at the end of the file.

Donated to Seven Stories by the creator in 1998.
