Page twelve of 'Flora's Feast', the wood
Description
A lord and lady, both elaborately dressed and adorned with woodland berries, join hands. The male figure admires the spear he is holding, whilst the woman allows a bird of prey fashioned from a leaf to perch on her gloved hand. The accompanying text reads:
"Here Lords and Ladies of the wood,
With shaking spear, and riding-hood".

In this image Crane again reveals the influence of the Arts and Crafts movement with his reference to the pre-industrial past. This is achieved through the use of identifiably early modern costumes, as well as a linguistic joke that refers to Shakespeare. By choosing to depict lords and ladies, Crane is also referring to the old hierarchy that was in place before the rise of the capitalist bourgeoisie that, as a socialist, he was opposed to.
