Summary
Plate XI
Original description:

Thomas Crane (1843–1903) was the eldest son of painter and miniaturist Thomas Crane (1808-1859) and his wife Marie Crane. As with his younger brother, Walter Crane, Thomas was influenced by his father’s craft and skill as a painter to pursue a career in the arts. Though he did not become as famous as his younger brother, Walter, the two Cranes did enter into similar career paths, with Thomas illustrating Christmas cards and children’s books, and designing needlework patterns.
