Queen Summer is sitting enthroned with angels fanning her. Like in the rest of the book, Crane's style of home design is on show with the ornate, wallpaper like background and the shell shaped fans. The Queen's long flowing hair is also part of the Pre-Raphaelite aesthetic. Crane is not simplifying his styles; rather he is creating compelling and beautiful images specifically for children.
