A gorgeous illustration by one of Britain's most well-respected illustrators and artists of the period. Walter Crane was a painter, decorator, designer, book illustrator, writer and socialist. Born in Liverpool in 1845, his technical background allowed him to develop a much greater craftsmanship in the art of the book than any other contemporary artist. He had the great strength of being principally an illustrator and not merely a painter who illustrated books. The Paris Commune had a powerful influence on him and led to his association with William Morris and the socialist cause. Although direct followers are hard to pin down, Crane was widely influential and the Crane style appears in the Art School work of the 1890s and 1900s. (Houfe)
Exquisite detail and colouring to this image of King Midas who worshiped gold so much that all that he touched turned to gold - including his daughter! Lovely We specialise in decorative antique and vintage prints. Many of our prints are one-offs which you may never see again. All are of limited availability and second copies are often quite hard to find. Mounts are hand cut to suit each print and the result is unique; ready to decorate your home, or ideal to give as a gift.	Very Good A Note on condition: Minor imperfections are to be expected from antique prints due to their age and in many cases this does not affect the appearance of the print. Any blemishes that are noteworthy are described and shown in the picture where possible. Colours will vary slightly depending on your monitor Also Please Note: The watermark in the bottom right hand corner of the image does not appear on the print itself.
