One more Walter Crane this week and for Caturday! This cat playing a cameo appearance in his Mother Hubbard: Her Picture Book (1897) by the great illustrator from Liverpool, England, whose many beautifully illustrated picture books grace our special collections…

We be fighting dragons today in the special collections, and we be loving the work of Walter Crane, this lithograph from his Princess Belle Etoile in our The Song of Sixpence Picture Book (1909). Since we admire his wonderful illustrations, you’ll be seeing more of his work soon…
