Ye Bayreuth Pilgrimage by Walter Crane, RWS 1845-1915. Ink drawing. Source: Rowley, Fifty Years of Work without Wages, p. 162. Rowley comments, “I made a most delightful pilgrimage with
Walter Crane, his wife and daughter, and two
others, to Bayreuth in 1894. I cannot do better
than insert some of his holiday skits on that
occasion. These, with one other, show Crane in
his "unbuttoned" manner, as Beethoven said of
his freer and finer effusions. The fine Egyptian
design of my poor self on a camel with retainers
is a masterpiece, although there is little truth
in it” (167).
