A.B. Frost

The works of illustrator and Philadelphian Arthur Burdett Frost (1851-1928) will be on display at the Rosenbach Museum & Library. Frost, who studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, had built a career as an illustrator for books and magazines when Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, also known as Lewis Carroll, asked him to provide artwork for a book of poems. The two began a tumultuous professional relationship that ended badly due to Dodgson’s uncompromising critiques. The Rosenbach preserved both Frost’s pen and ink drawings and Dodgson’s biting letters. Everyone’s a critic.
