Spring
1883
Kate Greenaway captures the pure joy of the season in this 1883 illustration, showing a group of children in flowing, old-fashioned dresses weaving flower chains beneath a blooming tree. This image comes from her incredibly popular work that defined the 'Golden Age of Illustration' for children. Her style was so influential that it actually sparked a fashion craze in Victorian England, with parents dressing their kids in the exact same smocks and bonnets seen here to mimic this idyllic, pastoral look.
