Together with the printer Edmund Evans (1826-1905), he produced two to three toy books per year between 1865 and 1876, and illustrated renowned titles including 'Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves' (1873), 'The Frog Prince' (1874), and 'Household Stories from Grimm' (1882). Crane was heavily influenced by William Morris (1834-1896) and collaborated with him on the 1894 publication 'The Story of the Glittering Plain'. He became a central figure in the Arts and Crafts movement and founded the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society in 1888. The present work depicts the Forest of Hardelot in northern France, which straddles the villages of Neufchâtel, Condette and Hardelot, near the town of Boulogne-sur-Mere.

Daughter of a successful draftsman and wood engraver, she studied graphic design and art between 1858–69. Her first book ‘Under the Window’ was an instant best seller and bought her immediate fame, and was followed by numerous highly successful publications. At the same time as her writing career, she excelled as a watercolourist, working with illustrators Walter Crane and Randolph Caldecott.
