Child with lamb
1891
Kate Greenaway was famous for dressing her Victorian children in old-fashioned Regency clothing, and this sweet scene is a perfect example of her signature style. A little girl in a floral dress and bonnet stands on a patch of grass, gently holding a red ribbon attached to a small white lamb. Her illustrations were so incredibly popular in the late 19th century that they actually influenced real-life children's fashion, with parents rushing to dress their kids just like her characters! It captures a sense of innocent childhood that made her books bestsellers.
