Walter Crane's "The Englishman" depicts a figure from the age of exploration, complete with period attire, firearm, and sailing ship. The illustration reflects on British colonial ambitions within a decorative Arts and Crafts frame.
Walter Crane's "The Englishman" presents a figure from the age of exploration and empire. The man, dressed in period attire, stands confidently with a firearm, a symbol of power and control. Behind him, a sailing ship on the open sea evokes the spirit of discovery and maritime dominance. The inclusion of tools like a shovel and axe suggests the colonisation and exploitation of new lands. A decorative border frames the scene, incorporating floral and geometric motifs typical of the Arts and Crafts movement. The text accompanying the image speaks of England's rivalry on the seas and the creation of 'New Englands', alluding to the nation's colonial ambitions. Crane's illustration, while visually appealing, also prompts reflection on the historical context of British expansion and its impact on the world. The composition and colour palette are carefully considered, creating a visually engaging image that invites closer examination.

So pleased with my print and the frame it’s housed in. Fantastic quality and really adds character to the room. Communication was great and it was delivered quicker than estimated. Overall I’m extremely pleased and will recommend to friends. I’m already eying up my next purchase!
Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
