Language of Flowers, London,
Routledge, 1884. Engraved and
colour printed by Edmund Evans.
Kate Greenaway was an illustrator of children's books in the Victorian era. Her work depicted children as dreamy little figures who play amid the English countryside, dressed in frilly smocks, mob caps and sunbonnets. I own several books with drawings by Kate Greenaway, including the one above, Language of Flowers.
