Slateandpencil-vania : being the adventures of Dick on a desert island
Slateandpencil-vania is a children's picture book by Walter Crane, published in London by Marcus Ward & Co. in 1885, telling the shipwreck and island adventures of a boy named Dick. Its pages pair framed hand-lettered captions with colour-printed scenes in flat, outlined figures, with a clear, decorative picture-and-text layout a designer could borrow for storybook panels.
