About the Item
JOHNSON’S HOUSEHOLD BOOK OF NATURE
Craig Hugh, Editor
Henry J. Johnson, Publisher
New York, 1880
64 Chromolithographs
“…full & interesting descriptions of the Animal Kingdom based on the writings of the Eminent Naturalists Audubon, Wallace, Brehm, Wood, and others.”
With this descriptive paragraph, Henry J. Johnson set out to publicize this encyclopedic work on animals. Modest in size and complete in one volume, this book on natural history was aimed at the popular audience of its day. The world had opened its doors to exploration and specimens from every continent filled the halls of castles and museums. Kangaroos, wallabies, tigers and giraffes were all known to the average school-aged child. Parents were learning the value of bookshelves filled with the latest literature on the wonders of the world.
Hugh Craig, editor, combined brief commentary from well-known naturalists with brightly colored chromolithographs often based on that specific naturalist’s illustrations. Most easily recognizable are the Audubon animals from The Quadrupeds of North America. Thus, even those not privy to more expensive subscriptions could enjoy the accomplishment of America’s greatest illustrator of birds and animals. The result is a delightful collection of animals from around the world set in the distinctive backgrounds of their natural environment.

- IrisBy Walter CraneLocated in Florham Park, NJFLORA’S FEAST A Masque of Flowers Walter Crane, Illustrator Cassell & Co., Publisher Color Lithograph London, 1889 Born in Liverpool, 15 August 1845, Walter Crane first studied art in his father Thomas’ studio. After both moving to London and losing his father, Crane obtained an apprenticeship as William Linton’s engraving shop. This position exposed the young Crane to political reform which would become a major influence on his future work. As in illustrator, Crane became part of an influential group of political and religious radical movements. A supporter of the Liberal Party, Crane was outspoken in his support of the Communard’s attempt to overthrow the French government in 1871. It is seemingly ironic that at this time that Crane’s reputation as an illustrator of children’s books began to blossom. Within a decade Crane would join his life-long friend William Morris’s Arts and Crafts...Category
