CREATORS

* Walter Crane (British, 1845–1915) 
Walter Crane was a prolific designer and painter, but he is best known as a muralist and a children’s book illustrator. Examples of his mural designs can be seen in downtown Cleveland inside the former Society for Savings, now KeyBank. While his incorporation of classical elements diverges from the assertive medievalism of Morris, both men found inspiration in the English garden. As passionate Socialists, they shared a fear of industrialized Britain and endeavored to bring art to all classes
* Maw & Co. (British (modern), 1850–1969) 
English tile manufacturer, 1850-1969
