That Monday morning feeling... 🛌 English artist and book illustrator Walter Crane, born #OTD in 1845, illustrated Household Stories, from the collection of the Brothers Grimm. 📑12411 g 5
Illustrated frontispiece of Household Stories, from the collection of the Brothers Grimm. A woman lies asleep on a bed, surrounded by a sleeping dog and a musical instrument while a man in a hat watches over her. The caption reads: The Sleeping Beauty - at last he came to the tower & opened the door of the little room where Rosamond lay.
