Honor Charlotte Appleton (1879–1951) was a British illustrator of children's books, including The Children's Alice. She had a delicate watercolour style, influenced by Kate Greenaway and others.
She was born in Brighton, on the south coast of England, on 4 February 1879, and lived in nearby Hove most of her life. She studied art at the Kensington School, Frank Calderon's School of Animal Painting and the Royal Academy of Arts.
Appleton illustrated more than 150 books in the course of her career. They included the fairytales of Charles Perrault and Hans Christian Andersen, William Blake's Songs of Innocence and a retold version of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Children's Alice.
Her watercolours were exhibited at the Royal Academy, and there was a memorial exhibition of her work at Hove Library in 1952.

William Orpen's 'To the Unknown British Soldier in France'
There is a fascinating story about this picture that not only highlights the pomposity and arrogance of the politicians of the time of World War I but has also introduced me to the word 'vainglory', which I hadn't heard before but which is no doubt appropriate for some of today's leaders.
