Description: This Charming Book Plate no. 8, by "Walter Crane" is of "The Violet and the Primrose Dame” from ‘Flora’s Feast’ - a Masque of Flowers. "Walter Crane (15 August 1845 – 14 March 1915) was an English artist and book illustrator. He is considered to be the most influential and among the most prolific children’s book creator of his generation along with Randolph Caldecott and Kate Greenaway, was one of the strongest contributors to the child's nursery motif that the genre of English children's illustrated literature would exhibit in its developmental stages in the latter 19th century. Crane's work featured some of the more colorful and detailed beginnings of the child-in-the-garden motifs that would characterize many nursery rhymes and children's stories for decades to come. He was part of the Arts and Crafts movement and produced an array of paintings, illustrations, children's books, ceramic tiles and other decorative arts. Crane is also remembered for his creation of a number of iconic images associated with the international Socialist movement." Measures 7-3/8" W x 9-3/4" H.
