Title
Page eleven of 'Flora's Feast', the Buttercups
Description
Two figures rest amongst buttercups and cowslips. The features of the cowslip flower are designed to more closely resemble the head of their namesake animal. The accompanying text reads:
"Where shining Buttercups abound,
Among the Cowslips on the ground".
Artist / maker
Crane, Walter
Date
1902
Size
25.0 x 18.5 cm
Type
Publisher's print
Location
Art and Design Library
The personification of Buttercups matches other images of children in gardens by Crane where they are happy and surrounded by nature. This could be seen as a comment on the importance for children to be free and to use their imaginations and in an ideal situation to have a childhood spent outside.
Again there is an element of humour to Crane's personification as he fashions the head of a cow from cowslips.
