The frog prince
A children's fairy-tale picture book by Walter Crane, published in London and New York by George Routledge and Sons in 1874, illustrating The Frog Prince. The four pictures show a princess in a yellow gown at a doorway and a frog on a checkered floor, a feast at a long table, a seated king with a falcon, and the princess beside a fountain in a garden. The flat, outlined colour blocks, patterned costumes and decorative borders suggest strong examples of Victorian chromolithographic book design for repeat patterns and period ornament.
