Almanack for 1890 – Title
1890
Step right into a Victorian spring parade with this charming cover for Kate Greenaway's 1890 Almanack! Three children in flowing white dresses and straw hats march in a line, carrying tall staffs topped with blooms, all framed by a delicate garland of pink roses against a dark background. Greenaway was so influential that her illustrations of children in old-fashioned Regency clothing actually started a massive fashion trend for real-life kids in the late 19th century. The intricate color printing was handled by Edmund Evans, a master woodblock printer who helped make these annual little books absolute bestsellers.
