Original Walter Crane Faerie Queene Woodcut Engraving

Original Walter Crane Faerie Queene Woodcut Engraving
Entitled "Calidore hostes with Melibee and loves fayre Pastorel", this is an original woodcut 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. This engraving has been framed and glazed but can be unframed for ease of postage if requested. Condition is good overall, commensurate with age. The image measures 23.5cm (9 1/4") high by 19cm (7 1/2") wide, with the frame approx 14" by 12". The price includes UK postage.
