A leading designer of Art Nouveau textiles and wallpaper, English illustrator and painter Walter Crane (1845-1913) was equally celebrated for his imaginative illustrations of nursery rhymes, fables, and children's stories.

Forty captivating illustrations depict ethereal figures attired in fantastic garments made from buttercups, tulips, roses, irises, and other familiar flowers. From early spring to late winter, the yearlong spectacle progresses, with snowdrops, daffodils, and violets displaying their simple charms, while "sweet hyacinths their bells...riing, to swell the music of the Spring."

A floral tribute to enchant lovers of Victorian fantasy and flowers. Great source of inspiration for artists and designers.
