A fine example of Arts and Crafts book illustration by Walter Crane for Edmund Spenser's Faerie Queene. Spenser's epic poem The Faerie Queene tells a series of discrete but interrelated stories based around the quests of six knights who each represent a particular virtue. Numerous adaptions of the 16th-century work were made for children in the 19th and early 20th centuries; in the 1890s, Walter Crane illustrated a six-volume edition of the complete poem, which is considered a fine example of the Arts and Crafts movement. The present work illustrated Book VI Canto III, page 1338 in the 1896 edition.
