1883
Kate Greenaway captures a quiet, pastoral moment in this charming 1883 illustration titled 'February'. A woman in a flowing green gown and flower-adorned hat holds a jug and basket, while a small child in blue clings to her hand, gazing at the winter grass. The scene is framed by a delicate border of vines and yellow blooms, showcasing the Victorian illustration style that made Greenaway famous. She had a knack for reviving 18th-century fashion, and her drawings were so beloved they actually sparked a real-world trend, with parents dressing their children in the bonnets and pinafores seen here.
