DESIGN BY WALTER CRANE.

CHAPTER VI.

THE DECORATIVE PAGE.

To turn next to the more decorative side of modern illustration, where design and the ensemble of a printed page are more considered, it is pleasant to be able to draw attention to the work of an art school, where an educated and intelligent mind seems to have been the presiding genius; where the illustrators, whilst they are fully imbued with the spirit of the past, have taken pains to adapt their methods to modern requirements. I refer to the Birmingham Municipal School of Art.
