He lefts assembly, hiding his face in his cloak 

This print was made by Walter Crane, who lived from 1845 to 1915. Crane was deeply influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement, which was all about valuing handcraft over industrial production. Looking at the image, you can see the printmaking process, with its flat colors and clear outlines, which owes a lot to the woodcut tradition. But Crane didn't just blindly follow tradition; he combined it with his own ideas and techniques. The level of detail is extraordinary, look at the folds in the cloak and the way the faces in the crowd are depicted. The Arts and Crafts movement was concerned with wider social issues of labor and production. Crane’s work often reflected these concerns. The image portrays a figure leaving an assembly, hiding his face. Crane invites us to see the humanity in this individual, challenging the impersonal nature of industrial society. By focusing on the materials, the making, and the social context, we can fully appreciate the richness of Walter Crane's work.
