Background:
These Cinderella prints are from Walter Crane's New
Toy Book. Crane (1845-1915), who established a reputation as a children's
illustrator, was one of the earliest contributors to George Routledge's "toy
books" which began publication in 1865. He was one of the first children's
illustrators to feature text and pictures together on a page, whereas most other books
would interleave picture pages with text pages.
Crane prints are notable for the way each was
signed - a Crane (the bird) within a capital letter "C".
It was said of his work "Crane was first and foremost a designer. His
designs were simple and bold and used only bright, unmixed colors." Edmund
Evans was both the engraver and printer for Crane's works.
