Title
Page thirty-five from 'Flora's Feast', the Hollyhock
Description
A lone male figure dressed in armour holds a staff of red hollyhock aloft as he casts his eyes upwards in a dignified gesture. The accompanying text reads:
"The Hollyhock his standard high,
Rears proudly to the autumn sky".
Artist / maker
Crane, Walter
Date
1902
Size
25.0 x 18.5 cm
Type
Publisher's print
Location
Art and Design Library
In a similar vein to the lamp of the Evening Primrose (page 30), the staff of the Hollyhock extends above the text, this time in order to accentuate his role as a proud flower with a lengthy blooming season. This attitude is represented through the armour he wears, therefore showing that Crane is attempting to link the character of the flower with positions in human society.
