Walter Crane was a contemporary of legendary illustrators Kate Greenaway and Randolph Caldecott. He was also the most influential–and prolific–children’s book creator of his time. He studied Japanese watercolors and soon used this style for a series of children’s picture books. These volumes set a new trend in children’s literature. Crane was also closely associated with the Socialist movement; he believed in bringing art to members of all social classes and therefore spent much of his time designing wallpapers and textiles. Though he wasn’t an anarchist, Crane contributed to libertarian publishers like Liberty Press and Freedom Press.
