EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Walter Crane's cover design for Edmund Spenser's "The Shepheards Calendar - March, 1898" from the year 1923. The artwork boldly embraces an illustrative style, capturing the essence of British book illustration during that era. The Shepheardes Calender itself holds great significance as it marked Spenser's first major poetic work and was published in 1579. In this monochrome image, we are transported to a woodland scene where two men are depicted with a religious undertone. One man is crouching down while aiming a bow and arrow, his gaze fixed on an unseen target. Meanwhile, a winged figure resembling an angel stands beside him, adding an ethereal touch to the composition. Crane's decorative approach beautifully complements the literary context of Spenser's poem. The intricate details and careful craftsmanship capture the spirit of both the sixteenth century setting and early twentieth-century Britain. This print is part of "British Book Illustration - Yesterday and To-day" edited by Geoffrey Holme and published by The Studio Ltd. , London in 1923. It serves as a testament to Crane's artistic prowess as well as his ability to bring literature to life through visual representation. Overall, this image invites viewers into a world where art seamlessly intertwines with poetry, showcasing the timeless beauty found within both mediums.
