Description:
‘The London Carnival’-- Artist: Walter Crane (1845–1915), Engraver: W. J. Linton. An image showing the wealthy at play in which the artist stresses appearance (and hats). The composition focuses on surfaces and textures, with close attention being paid to the elaborate floral accessories attached to the hats: a world where appearance is the primary currency, and leisure its mode of exchange.
