Inside Out Library

The Quiver of Love. A collection of Valentines ancient and modern. With illustrations, in colors, ... by W. Crane and Kate Greenaway

CRANE, Walter., Greenaway, Kate · 1876 · 48 pictures

An 1876 London gift anthology of valentine verse, ancient and modern, illustrated in color by Walter Crane and Kate Greenaway for Victorian readers buying sentimental keepsakes. The plates here are line-drawn decorative initials: blackletter and Gothic capitals wrapped in ivy, grapevines, roses and curling tendrils, with a grotesque beast in one — usable as drop caps, monograms and foliate borders.
