Almanack for 1892 – Title
1892
Step into a sunny Victorian garden where three girls in flowing, high-waisted dresses are busy playing a game of catch. This charming cover for Kate Greenaway's 1892 Almanack is a perfect example of why she was the superstar of children's illustration in the late 19th century. Below the playful scene, a lush garland of flowers is held up by ribbons and guarded by two adorable cherubs. Greenaway's nostalgic style was so influential that parents actually started dressing their children in the 'Greenaway style'—copying the bonnets and frocks seen right here!
