1883
Two young friends in frilly Regency dresses sit side-by-side on wooden chairs, their backs turned as if sharing a secret. This 1883 calendar page by Kate Greenaway is a perfect example of her nostalgic charm—she loved dressing Victorian children in old-fashioned clothes, and her illustrations were so popular that real parents started copying her style for their own kids! The mysterious 'S.AF.TRI.' dates refer to 'Sunday after Trinity,' tying this sweet scene to the church calendar. Greenaway's delicate, dreamy illustrations basically helped invent the modern picture book aesthetic.
