Walter Crane
Walter Crane (1845-1915) was an English artist and book illustrator. Wikipedia states that He, along with Randolph Caldecott and Kate Greenaway, are considered the strongest contributors to the child's nursery motif that the genre of English children's illustrated literature would exhibit in its developmental stages in the latter 19th century. His work featured some of the more colorful and detailed beginnings of the child-in-the-garden motifs that would characterize many nursery rhymes and children's stories for decades to come. Born in Liverpool, he was part of the Arts and Crafts movement. He produced paintings, illustrations, children's books, ceramic tiles and other decorative arts. His lettering was at the basis of Crane Titling (2006, Nick Curtis), Crane Gothic (David Nalle, Scriptorium) and Walter Crane (2009, David Nalle, Scriptorium). Example alphabets drawn by him with a quill pen include Modern Gothic Capitals and this set. In 2012, Dick Pape created a digital alphabet called LFD Penwork 160 that is based on Crane's (utterly unattractive) modern gothic capitals. In 2013, Michael Bolen designed BU Scarecrow based on Crane's alphabets. |
