Victorian writer & illustrator Kate Greenaway was born #OTD in 1846. As a girl she was described as an "odd child" because she spent so much time in her imagination. Her imagination would be her greatest asset in her illustrations. Her book Under the Window became a bestseller.
"Things are so beautiful and wonderful, you feel there must be another life where you will see more - hear more - and know more."

"I have made it a rule for a long time, not to part with the copyright of my drawings, for I have been so copied, my drawings reproduced & sold for advertisements & done in ways I hate."

If you were going to illustrate a dish running away with a spoon, Randolph Caldecott was your man (1846-86). He died so young, but he helped invent the picture book for children as we know it. I love his historic & rural English scenes. ☺️❤️

We'd be nuts not to celebrate #NationalAlmondDay, especially when we have such a beautiful example in our collection. "Pomologie française" (1846) documents fruit in France with exquisite illustrations by P.J.F. Turpin.
