About the Item
FLORA’S FEAST
A Masque of Flowers
Walter Crane, Illustrator
Cassell & Co., Publisher
Color Lithograph
London, 1889
Born in Liverpool, 15 August 1845, Walter Crane first studied art in his father Thomas’ studio. After both moving to London and losing his father, Crane obtained an apprenticeship as William Linton’s engraving shop. This position exposed the young Crane to political reform which would become a major influence on his future work.
As in illustrator, Crane became part of an influential group of political and religious radical movements. A supporter of the Liberal Party, Crane was outspoken in his support of the Communard’s attempt to overthrow the French government in 1871. It is seemingly ironic that at this time that Crane’s reputation as an illustrator of children’s books began to blossom. Within a decade Crane would join his life-long friend William Morris’s Arts and Crafts Society in a revolt against modern manufacturing and the ceramics.
As a member of Morris’ Socialist League, Crane began his long history of contributing illustrations for party journals. His 1882 book, The Claims of Decorative Art, argued that art could not flourish in a world where wealth was so unfairly distributed. He became Britain’s leading socialist artist and went on to illustrate many works and to provide a wealth of political cartoons. By 1898 Crane was appointed head of the Royal College of Art.
Only three months after the death of Mary, his beloved wife of forty-four years, Crane died on 14 March 1915. His prolific career lives on in the lasting political statements and moving illustrations he made in the many volumes he produced.

- Acanthus KelchBy Walter GropiusLocated in Florham Park, NJARCHIV FUR ORNAMENTALE KUNST. W. Gropius, L. Lohde, P. Lehfeldt. Lithographs with Later Hand-Color. Berlin, 1870. 13” x 19” Unframed. A fine German work, the illustrations are of classical and neo-classical decorative designs. The acanthus leaf, Greco-Roman busts, mythical animals and ornamental relief show the preferred style of architectural ornament over the centuries and from country to country. A trick of the lithographer was to use the occasional solid ground to give better dimension to the plate. Measuring 19” x 13”, many designs include a scale to show actual size. Only two of the 72 illustrations were printed in full color, another pair in sepia tones, and six in burnt orange and black to show typical Etruscan designs. Several have toned backgrounds. It has been the fashion to apply hand coloring to black and white engravings and lithographs for centuries. The superb condition can be attributed to the individual paper guards placed between each plate. Many of the pieces illustrated are in museums; i.e. a Greek painted portrait medallion is preserved in the Classical Museum...Category
