Title
Preface for 'Baby's Own Aesop'
Description
A note of thanks is held by two winged children in the foreground. Chickens strut about and feed, and in the background a building with three windows shows owls at work, engraving and printing. A woman and two young children look inside. The note reads:
"For this rhymed version
of the Fables I have
to thank my early
friend and master W.J.Linton,
who kindly placed the MS. at my
disposal. I have added a
touch here and there, but the
credit of this part of the book
still belongs to him.
Walter Crane"
