This little pig went to market

Crane, Walter, 1845-1915, Richards, Herbert, former owner. DSI · 1870 · London : George Routledge & Sons · 6 pictures

A nursery-rhyme picture book illustrated by Walter Crane and published in London by George Routledge & Sons around 1870, made for young children. Its pages show a pig family in domestic and rural scenes with bold flat colour and framed captions. A designer could take its flat, saturated palette, pared-down figure drawing and captions set in boxed panels as a model for playful childlike layouts.
