Little Red Riding Hood

Crane, Walter, 1845-1915, Kean, Elizabeth d'Hauteville, former owner. DSI · 1875 · [London] : George Routledge & Sons · 5 pictures

A Victorian children's picture book of the Little Red Riding Hood tale in verse, illustrated by Walter Crane and published in London by George Routledge & Sons in 1875 for young readers. The pages pair framed verse with colour-printed scenes in flat outlines and natural pattern, showing the girl in her red cloak, the cottage window, the open door and the wolf, a useful model for bordered text panels, decorative floral frames and limited-palette storytelling.
