Embroidered fire screen (Version 1)
Embroidered fire screen (Version 2)
Banner design drawn on linen with pencil before stitching. It is attached to a calico lining which is stitched to the top of the hanging. It was designed by Walter Crane and worked by his wife Mary Frances Crane. The motto on banner reads: "Qui corvus pascit pascere potest grues" (He who feeds the raven will be able to feed the crane). The design of the panel is possibly that of Thomas Crane, Walter Crane's father.

Similar panels appear in Mackintosh's drawings of the east wall of the principal bedroom at The Hill House although it is not certain when they were installed there as early photographs taken in 1904 do not show them. The panels appear to be duplicates of those shown at the Vienna Secession exhibition in 1900 and bought by Emil Blumenfelt; at least one of these (listed as a 'bed curtain') was lent by Blumenfelt to the Turin exhibition in 1902 - although it lacks the lower section of black silk seen on The Hill House panels.
