Pan Pipes

(retouched)





The son of a lithographer, Englishman Walter Crane (1845-1915) was a leading children's book illustrator during the latter stages of the 19th century. He also enjoyed modest success with his oil paintings.

His lavish illustrations accompany 40 traditional songs in Pan-Pipes, first released in 1883. [Thanks to Meggiecat - this is a wonderful site!]
