Walter Crane (1845–1915) was an English artist and book illustrator. He is considered to be the most prolific and influential children’s book creator of his generation
and, along with Randolph Caldecott and Kate Greenaway, one of the strongest contributors to the child's nursery motif
that the genre of English children's illustrated literature would
exhibit in its developmental stages in the latter 19th century. His work
featured some of the more colorful and detailed beginnings of the
child-in-the-garden motifs that would characterize many nursery rhymes
and children's stories for decades to come. He was part of the Arts and Crafts movement and produced an array of paintings, illustrations, children's books, ceramic tiles and other decorative arts. Below I will include some of his silhouettes.
