Flora's Feast: A Masque of Flowers

By Walter Crane

Cassell and Company, London, 1899. Hardback, 4to (10" by 7.5"). Printed boards and cloth spine,
40, [6]pp. Wonderfully illustrated throughout in colour by Walter Crane.
 
A very scarce copy of this charming children's book of flowers.

Walter Crane is considered to be one of the most influential children's book writers of his generation. He contributed to the child's nursery motif of the late 19th century. This edition includes Cassell's publisher's adverts with a detailed list of other publications.

CONDITION

A lovely copy in good condition. The binding is good with light rubbing to the corners. Fractional wear to the cloth at the head and tail of the spine but generally very good for age. Patterned endpapers very good and inner joints sound with no cracking. All contents present and pages are clean throughout with a little age-toning to the margins. A delightfully illustrated book in very good condition.
