THE WALTER CRANE COLLECTION ~~~~~~~~ A truly unique and wonderful
collection of 100 rare, out-of-print books compiled together for the first time
on DVD DATA DISC featuring the wonderful children’s literature and illustrations of
WALTER CRANE. Walter Crane was an English
artist and book illustrator born in Liverpool
on 15th August 1845. He is considered to be among the most prolific
and most influential children’s book creator of his generation, and along with
Randolph Caldecott and Kate Greenaway, 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 period 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 years to come. Some of the books contained within
this collection are extremely hard-to-find and will provide a valuable library
of reference material and wonderful illustrations. Overall, an absolute must
for anyone with an interest in Walter Crane and the illustration of children’s
literature. The full list of titles included speaks for itself…. This superb compilation of
