1883
Kate Greenaway captures the crisp essence of autumn here, showing two young children trudging home with the season's harvest. The girl in the rust-colored dress and blue apron clutches a heavy bundle of ferns, while her companion impressively balances a massive basket of foliage right on top of his hat. Greenaway was an absolute superstar of Victorian illustration, and her idyllic depictions of children in old-fashioned, pastoral clothing actually sparked a massive fashion trend for little girls in the 1880s. You can spot her initials 'KG' tucked into the grass at the bottom left, signing off on this cozy slice of 19th-century childhood.
