This exhibit features the work of two of the most important illustrators of books and stories by Sandwich native and renowned children's author Thornton W. Burgess [1874-1965]. Artists Harrison Cady and Phoebe Erickson each had very different styles to depict the popular Burgess animal characters. Cady's was a colorful, whimsical style, and his depictions have remained the most enduring images of Peter Rabbit, Jimmy Skunk, Reddy Fox and all the creatures of "Old Mother West Wind." Phoebe Erickson gave a more natural and realistic look to the Burgess animal characters. The illustrations on exhibit are part of the Burgess Society's collection. Hours are 10am to 4pm Tuesday through Saturday.
