January
1883
Step into the nostalgic world of Victorian illustrator Kate Greenaway with this delightful page titled 'January' from her 1883 almanack. A woman dressed in a flowing, ruffled gown and a wide-brimmed yellow hat gently cradles a sleeping baby, standing beside a practical list of dates and moon phases. Greenaway was famous for dressing her figures in old-fashioned Regency clothing, creating an idealized, sweet vision of childhood that completely captivated the public. Her almanacks were such a craze that fans would buy them just to collect the charming illustrations, often caring little for the actual calendar dates inside!
