Purchase options and add-ons

A prominent figure in the Victorian art world, Walter Crane not only participated in the late nineteenth century's publishing revolution but also led the way toward the Golden Age of Illustration. Crane was instrumental in the transition from simple black-and-white illustrations for children's books to gallery-quality artwork. This original collection features more than one hundred of the influential artist's brilliant images. It constitutes a survey of his paintings as well as a visual history of the development of the first color illustrations.
Few artists of Crane's generation achieved careers as varied and successful as his. This compilation reflects the diversity of his subjects, from images for alphabet books, nursery rhymes, and fairy tales to scenes from stories of King Arthur and Robin Hood to illustrations inspired by the classics of Shakespeare, Hawthorne, and Spenser. Editor Jeff A. Menges provides an Introduction that places the artist and his works in historic context.

As with all of Dover publications of illustrators' work, it is hard to know if the colors here are true (Dover's picture books are often too bluish or greenish or brownish), but even if they're not quite right the pictures LOOK great. About half of the illustrations are black and white, which Dover does well. There is a wide variety of pictures, many I'd never seen before. The illustrations come from 17 of Crane's books and include one of wallpaper, a wall hanging and some gallery paintings. I think it's a good book for the money.

4.0 out of 5 stars A versatile artist
Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2012
Like many of the Golden Age artists, Walter Crane, though primarily remembered as an illustrator of children's books, did much more than that. As shown here, he ranged from the richly colored line drawings of the so-called "toybooks" and  Baby's Opera  and its counterparts, to bold and powerful BW inks, delicate pastels, and even oils in the classic manner; the books he illustrated, from rhymed retellings of nursery tales, to songbooks, to new editions of Grimm, Shakespeare, Edmund Spenser, "Don Quixote," and the legends of Robin Hood and King Arthur. He even assembled a collection of themed quotations he called  Flowers From Shakespeare's Garden: A Posy From The Plays (1906) --and did a very handsome self-portrait which appears as the frontispiece to the book. As one of the very earliest of the Golden Agers, he merits familiarity from those who appreciate beautiful illustration, and the examples collected here should make a good start toward that.
