A Floral Fantasy 500 Piece Puzzle - Quick Ship

Availability: In Stock

Art & Fable's A Floral Fantasy by Walter Crane 500-Piece Puzzle invites you to enjoy the poetry and artwork of Walter Crane’s 1898 book, A Floral Fantasy in an Old English Garden.  

The nine illustrations in this puzzle are the work of 19th century artist Walter Crane, an English artist and book illustrator. They appeared in a short book entitled "A Floral Fantasy in an Old English Garden" (1899) and describes a stroll through a garden. Crane himself is depicted lying under a tree (upper right panel) prior to being led through through the garden by a fairy, where he encounters a series of human characters dressed as flowers and plants. These are arrayed in elaborate costumes of petals, tendrils and leaves, engaged in somber reflection and making visual puns about the plant’s common names. It is a delightful book translated into a wonderful puzzle, skillfully arranged and artfully presented by the folks at A&F PC.
Made inPoland

Originally geared towards young adults, A Floral Fantasy retains its wide appeal due to Crane’s beautiful artwork and mastery in the creation of enchanted realms.

Walter Crane's lived and worked during The Golden Age of Illustration. His artwork from page 1 and 2 of the book decorate the puzzle box, while the puzzle itself begins the story with pages 3-11.
This 500-piece puzzle will ultimately be a 2500 piece puzzle project once we have reproduced it to include all the pages of his wonderous book.  It will be wonderful to see the whole series put together and displayed as one!
