- The monographic double issue of Harvard Library Bulletin (26:1–2) devoted to British artist and illustrator Walter Crane was published on the occasion of the centenary year of the artist’s death. It was designed to accompany a major exhibition of his work at the Houghton Library, Harvard University, co-curated by me, together with Hope Mayo, Philip Hofer Curator of Printing and Graphic Arts. This work includes the exhibition catalogue (pp. 1–86), a history of the Caroline Miller Parker Collection of the Work of Walter Crane (pp. 87–170), and an account of Crane’s early illustrated publications (pp. 171–204). The last two essays, covering over a half of the total volume, were authored by me, as noted in the credits in the ‘Contents’ for the volume. Regarding the exhibition catalogue, Hope Mayo explained in the ‘Preface’: ‘Throughout the process of planning the exhibition and writing the catalogue I was fortunate to be able to consult with Dr. Francesca Tancini and benefit from her deep and extensive knowledge of Walter Crane’s career. She was in effect the co-curator of the exhibition’. Two visiting fellowships allowed me to survey the collection in depth in 2009 and 2011, thus laying the foundations for this major exhibition, developed from a project I first presented to Hope in 2012 at the end of my second fellowship, when it had become clear that the Caroline Miller Parker Collection was indeed one of the most important holdings of this artist in the world, and the largest in the United States.
