The Cock and the Pearl, The Wolf and the Lamb 1908

"The Cock and the Pearl, The Wolf and the Lamb" is an illustration by Walter Crane from 1908. The illustration depicts two familiar fables, the cock who finds a pearl and the wolf who tries to eat the lamb. Crane's style is known for its detailed linework and use of vibrant colors, but this illustration has a softer feel with muted tones, perhaps to better convey the moral lessons embedded in the stories. The illustrations also utilize a decorative framing device with an ornate border of flowers and leaves.
