Walter Crane Collection
Description & origins of the collection
The collection contains ca. 150 books, including numerous first or rare editions, by and about Walter Crane (1845 - 1915), illustrator, educationalist and social reformer. The collection was given by Lewis F. Day to his god-daughter, and this was acquired by the College for the Library and has since been added to. Items from the collection were part of the South London Gallery exhibition 'Nils Norman: Geocruiser' (2001), presenting the work of Walter Crane alongside that of contemporary artist Nils Norman, and also of 'James Joyce and other stories: books at the London Institute', an exhibition held at the London Institute Gallery (1999).
