Description
Cover image for 'Baby's Own Aesop' by Walter Crane. A child, drawn from behind, reaches for a door knocker. The door (child-sized) is bordered by classical columns and is further surrounded by cranes that appear as painted motifs. A leaf pattern forms a backdrop, along with further plants and animals. The title is hand-lettered, as is "Walter Crane", which is written across the door's architrave.
