Kate Greenaway Biography

(b Hoxton, London, 17 March 1846; d Hampstead, London, 6 Nov 1901). English painter, illustrator and writer. The daughter of a Fleet Street wood-engraver, John Greenaway (1818–90), she trained at Islington School of Art, Heatherleys Academy and the Slade School of Fine Art, all in London. In 1868 she did her first commercial work, producing Christmas and Valentine cards for Marcus Ward, Belfast. Greenaway wrote and illustrated children’s books, usually depicting children dressed in Regency-style costume—her illustrations set a fashion in children’s clothes—in idyllic rural locations. These were based on her memories of life at her great aunt’s cottage in Rolleston, Notts.
