"The Snowdrop" is a poem featured in "Flora's Feast: A Masque of Flowers," a book of illustrated verse by the English artist and book illustrator Walter Crane. Published in 1889, "Flora's Feast" represents a departure from Crane's earlier works, which were primarily intended for children. In this collection, Crane celebrates the beauty and character of various flowers through poetry and imagery, anthropomorphizing them in a series of masques, or dramatic performances.

"The Snowdrop" personifies the eponymous flower as a character within this floral pageant, symbolizing purity and the heralding of spring. As with the other flowers in the collection, Crane's illustration of the snowdrop is intricately detailed and stylized, reflecting both the Arts and Crafts movement and the influence of Japanese woodblock prints, with which Crane was contemporaneously engaged.

Walter Crane (1845–1915) was a pivotal figure in the development of children's literature illustration and is often associated with the aesthetic ideals of his time. His work in "Flora's Feast" is notable for its decorative qualities and the integration of text and image, which would influence the art of book design in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The introduction of "The Snowdrop" within the context of "Flora's Feast" not only showcases Crane's artistic talents but also reflects the Victorian fascination with nature and the language of flowers—a cultural phenomenon where flowers were used to convey specific meanings and sentiments. Crane's work remains significant for its contribution to the visual arts and its reflection of the cultural and artistic trends of the Victorian era.
