Description
1891 WALTER CRANE Art 1st/1st Queen Summer Tourney of Lily & Rose ILLUSTRATED



“Queen Summer or the Tourney of the Lily & the Rose” is an evocative poem penned by the illustrious English artist, Walter Crane. Initially serialized in “The English Illustrated Magazine” in 1885, the poem, spanning 144 verses, paints a picture of Earths rejuvenation. The book is adorned with 40 pages of intricate illustrations and decorative borders, emphasizing Cranes belief in the unity of text and image.



Walter Crane, a pivotal figure in the late 19th-century childrens literature realm, introduced vibrant, garden-themed motifs in many of his works. Part of the Arts and Crafts movement, Cranes vast repertoire includes paintings, illustrations, and decorative arts, making him a significant voice not just in literature but in the broader artistic community. Among his self-written and illustrated poetic works, “Queen Summer” stands alongside “The Sirens Three” and “Renascence”.
