    Kate Greenaway

    Catherine Greenaway (17 March 1846 6 November 1901) was an English Victorian artist and writer, known for her children's book illustrations. She received her education in graphic design and art between 1858 and 1871 from the Finsbury School of Art, the South Kensington School of Art, the Heatherley School of Art, and the Slade School of Fine Art. She began her career designing for the burgeoning holiday card market, producing Christmas and Valentine's cards. In 1879 wood-block engraver and printer, Edmund Evans, printed Under the Window, an instant best-seller, which established her reputation. Her collaboration with Evans continued throughout the 1880s and 1890s.The depictions of children in imaginary 18th-century costumes in a Queen Anne style were extremely popular in England and internationally, sparking the Kate Greenaway style. Within a few years of the publication of Under the Window Greenaway's work was imitated in England, Germany, and the United States.

      The pictures are nicely reproduced on Project Gutenberg, although I read directly online so the text did cover up portions of some. If you download the ePub or otherwise manipulate, you may be able to print & frame your favorite pictures.

      I wanted to like the verses, but I couldn't. They seemed clumsy and superficial to me, with very little of the liveliness of Beatrix Potter or the beauty of Frances Hodgson Burnett.

      Probably the best, with my favorite pictures, is:

      ON THE BRIDGE.

      If I could see a little fish—
      That is what I just now wish!
      I want to see his great round eyes
      Always open in surprise.

      I wish a water rat would glide
      Slowly to the other side;
      Or a dancing spider sit
      On the yellow flags a bit.

      I think I'll get some stones to throw,
      And watch the pretty circles show.
      Or shall we sail a flower-boat,
      And watch it slowly—slowly float?

      That's nice—because you never know
      How far away it means to go;
      And when to-morrow comes, you see,
      It may be in the great wide sea.
