Original Walter Crane Faerie Queene Woodcut
Entitled " The gentle squire recovers grace" 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 good condition, commensurate with age, 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 last photo shows another of the Walter Crane engravings, now sold, in a period Arts and Crafts oak frame which we were able to source for the client. The price includes UK mainland postage. Please contact me for overseas postage rates.
