17. The Curator Would you like more information about this object or to select a different object? This sketch was done by Walter Crane, an artist and illustrator working in the nineteenth century. The item has little monetary value, but is of real interest to me as a curator because I can see the notes written by the engraver and it shows a change of title. Both these things tell me about the way the artist had to work very quickly to meet the demands of the public and the publishing industry who loved his illustrations for books. It also reflects Walter Crane’s working practice and indicates not only his prolific output, but his need to earn a living via such commissions. Ω
