A leading designer of Art Nouveau textiles and wallpaper, English illustrator and painter Walter Crane (1845-1915) was equally celebrated for his imaginative illustrations of children's literature. This delicately tinted floral feast of watercolors features an endless procession of fairy-folk caring for (and wearing) nature's loveliest blossoms, accompanied by whimsical lines of Crane's own verse about each flower, rendered in botanical-themed calligraphy.
