A Day in a Child's Life
Not on view
The daughter of an engraver, Greenaway trained at the Slade School of Fine Art in London and began her career as a designer of greeting cards. Like her contemporary Walter Crane, she collaborated with the engraver Evans to publish children’s books in color, which achieved great commercial success. She produced an idealized and nostalgic image of rural childhood, dressing the children she illustrated in an eighteenth-century style that in turn became fashionable for children of her day.
