Books with title Favorite Nursery Rhymes from Mother Goose

The daughter of a seamstress who also owned a clothing shop, Greenaway paid particular attention to fashion of the time, and clothed the children she drew in exquisite detail, inventing styles and accessories along the way. The clothing in her drawings became very well-known, and caught the eye of the fashion world at the time, to the extent that the name Kate Greenaway became as familiar in fashion circles as in literary ones. The smocks, bonnets, aprons and dainty adornments were outdated and reminiscent of the Regency era, but captured the nostalgic imagination of readers, and the styles began to emerge once more. Liberty of London, a well-known British department store, even adapted the fashions seen in Greenaway's illustrations for a line of children's wear. Many of Greenaway’s books were published by George Routledge & Co., a prominent publishing house of the time who were also well-known for publishing yellowbacks - affordable, commercial paperbacks from Victorian times whose aim was to make reading and books affordable to anyone. Edmund Evans, a wood engraver and block printer, was also famous for his contributions to Victorian yellowbacks, and he reproduced Greenaway’s paintings and drawings for her books as well. He used a method called chromoxylography, wherein Evans’ hand-engraved wood blocks printed the art into the books’ pages. Greenaway also produced art in other forms besides books, such as greeting cards and bookplates. Greenaway’s poems and illustrations continued to be very popular and beloved by children for the remainder of the 19th century and beyond.
