1883
Kate Greenaway was the queen of Victorian children's illustration, famous for dressing her little subjects in quaint, old-fashioned clothes that looked like they stepped out of a Regency-era dream. In this delightful 1883 calendar page for April, a boy in a straw hat and orange coat stands beside a girl in a green dress and bonnet, peering over a rustic wooden fence framed by a lush arch of ivy. It’s a sweet, nostalgic scene that perfectly complements the list of dates below, marking holidays like Good Friday and Easter with a gentle, pastoral feel that made her almanacs incredibly popular gifts.
