Walter Crane's children's illustrations

Click any image to enlarge

Walter Crane is 19th century illustrator who is most remembered today for his illustrations of nursery rhymes and children's books. He was also a committed socialist and he did numerous cartoons and other art for Socialist publications (I guess he really liked fairy tales).

As an aside, I have an old print of his Beauty and the Beast shown above. It's not creased, so it didn't come out of a book but was a later print. Along with it I have his illustration for Sinbad the Sailor which is quite striking as well. Sadly, I couldn't find it online.
