Dos niños. 2
1892
Kate Greenaway was the queen of Victorian children's illustration, and this charming scene captures her signature style perfectly. A boy in a sturdy green coat and tall boots strolls arm-in-arm with a girl bundled up in a blue coat with luxurious fur trim, who seems to be reading a letter as they walk. Greenaway's illustrations were so popular in the late 19th century that they actually sparked a fashion trend, with mothers dressing their real-life children in the romanticized, old-fashioned clothing seen in her books. It's a sweet, nostalgic glimpse into a winter stroll from over a century ago.
