Henry Wigstead’s watercolours bring 18th-century stories to life in bright, playful strokes. You’ll find The history of John Gilpin, as read by Mr Henderson from 1785 here, two gentlemen acting out a wild horseback tale in ink and paint. Watercolours were his tool, fresh and quick, for scenes full of movement and humour.

Flip to John Gilpin next and watch how the paper’s soft colours keep the chaos of the ride alive.
