THE ARTIST. Thomas Crane (1843–1903) was the son of painter Thomas Crane (1808–1859) and brother of the renowned children’s illustrator Walter Crane (1845–1915). He channeled his inborn artistic talents into illustration and design, and as art director at Marcus Ward & Co., producing highly regarded greeting cards, embroidery designs and illustrations. Particularly exquisite are his floral patterns designed for Art Embroidery: a Treatise on the Revived Practice of Decorative Needlework (1878).

THE FINAL WORD. As William Morris said, "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."
