Walter Crane (1845 1915) is best remembered today as the
illustrator of whimsical stories for children, but in fact he
worked in many styles and genres throughout his life. The son of a
painter, he was apprenticed to a wood engraver at the age of
thirteen, and his father died shortly afterwards. By the time his
apprenticeship was completed, Crane was painting as well as
engraving, and joined the circle of the Pre-Raphaelites, being
especially influenced by the politics of William Morris and the
aesthetics of the Arts and Crafts movement. This highly illustrated
1907 autobiography traces his life from his childhood in Torquay
through the difficult period following his father's death to his
success as an illustrator and decorative artist, describing work,
politics and travel. Crane may have felt that he was not given
recognition as a serious painter, but this engaging account of a
happy life does not show it."
