1878
Kate Greenaway captures a classic childhood squabble in this 1878 illustration, where a butcher's boy and a baker's boy face off in a sunny village square, balancing heavy trays of goods on their shoulders. The accompanying verse reveals their playful rivalry, with the baker's boy threatening to 'knock you down' if the butcher claims his trade is best. This page comes from *Under the Window*, Greenaway's debut book that sparked a massive craze for her distinctive style of depicting children in quaint, old-fashioned clothing. You can spot her initials 'K.G.' tucked into the grass on the left, a subtle signature in this beloved piece of Victorian children's literature.
