Title
Page three of 'Flora's Feast', a group of figures waking
Description
The illustration depicts a group of child-like figures in a garden, rising with the sun. The accompanying text reads:
"And one by one each making bold
Their silken vesture to unfold,
And peeping forth to meet the sun,
The long procession is begun".
Artist / maker
Crane, Walter
Date
1902

As predicted by the cover image, Crane is using a plainer background here in order for his charming personifications of flowers to be the centre of attention. This stylistic choice, along with the depiction of youthful figures and the use of lighter colours, confirms that Crane is attempting to distinguish himself from the children's book authors of the previous generations by creating something that would appeal visually to children as a distinct audience.
