Original Walter Crane Faerie Queene Woodcut
Entitled "Calidore hostes with Melibee and loves fayre Pastorell", this is an original woodblock engraving by Walter Crane from an illustrated edition of Edmund Spenser's "Faerie Queene". Held as one of the most beautiful works of the late 19th century arts and crafts movement, Walter Crane's lavishly illustrated edition of Edmund Spenser's masterpiece Faerie Queene was printed in a limited run of 1,000 copies on unbleached hand made Arnold paper, and published by George Unwin in 1897. These were published in 6 separate paper volumes and not all survived. Offered in fair condition, commensurate with age, there are 2 small areas of foxing on the left hand side. Please see the images for detail. It is sold mounted but unframed. The image measures 23.5cm (9 1/4") high by 19cm (7 1/2") wide, with the mount approx 14" by 12". The price includes UK postage.
