Provenance: with Sarah Colegrave Fine Art, London. The Estate of John Byrne (1945-2025). Note: Crane was one of the most influential illustrators of the 19th century and a prolific producer of children's books (then known as 'toy books'). Crane, together with the printer Edmund Evans (1826-1905), produced two to three toy books per year between 1865 and 1876, and illustrated titles such as 'Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves' (1873), 'The Frog Prince' (1874), and 'Household Stories from Grimm' (1882).

He became a central figure in the Arts and Crafts movement and founded the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society in 1888.
