| Antique Print C M Barker Nursery Illustration ArtBeautiful illustration from an early and scarce edition Nursery Rhymes illustrated by Kate Greenaway. Chromolithograph printed by Edmund Evans.
Kate Greenaway (Catherine Greenaway) (1846 - 1901) has become one of the most well-loved children's book illustrators of all time. New techniques of photolithography enabled her delicate watercolours to be reproduced. And throughout the 1880s and 90s, in popularity her only rivals in the field of children's book illustration were Walter Crane and Randolph Caldecott. 'Kate Greenaway' children, all of them little girls and boys were dressed in her own versions of late eighteenth century and Regency fashions: smock-frocks and skeleton suits for boys, high-waisted pinafores and dresses with mobcaps and straw bonnets for girls. Liberty's of London adapted Kate Greenaway's drawings as designs for actual children's clothes and a generation of mothers in the liberal-minded 'artistic' British circles that called themselves "The Souls" and embraced the Arts and Crafts movement, dressed their daughters in Kate Greenaway pantaloons and bonnets in the 1880s and '90s.

Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet,
Eating some curds and whey:
There came a great spider,
And sat down beside her
And frightened Miss Muffet away.
