Title
Page sixteen from 'Flora's Feast', the Iris
Description
Two figures on horseback each hold up an iris, a castle-like building is represented in the background. The men demonstrate the fashion common at a royal court, and similarly the horses wear an official dress complete with floral headpieces and saddles. The accompanying text reads:
"With blazoned pennons from each spear, the Iris and the Flag appear".
Artist / maker
Crane, Walter
Date
1902
Size
25.0 x 18.5 cm
Type
Publisher's print

In this personification of the Iris the flower head acts as a flag. This could be representative of the fleur-de-lis and its association with Île-de-France and the French monarchy. Again, such a reference would bring a historical element to the illustration.
