Almanack for 1894 – Cover
1894
Step back into a whimsical Victorian childhood with this charming cover, where a boy in a long coat and a girl in a puffy-sleeved dress stand amidst a patch of grass. The girl holds up her apron like a basket full of blooms while the boy looks on, clutching a small bouquet. Kate Greenaway was a superstar illustrator of her time, and her distinctive style—featuring kids in old-fashioned Regency clothing—was so popular it actually sparked a real-life fashion trend for dressing children in smocks and bonnets across England. You can spot her initials 'KG' hidden in the grass near the boy's boots, a little signature on this delightful 1894 almanack.
