Liverpool-born Walter Crane (1845-1915) was one of the key childrens-book illustrators of the period, work that can be seen to advantage in this nice collection of illustrations for his own poetry. He was influenced by Ruskin and the Pre-Raphaelites, apprenticed to the engraver William James Linton and an acquaintance of William Morris (Crane later went to the US in support of the Haymarket defendants).
