EDITORS COMMENTS
Under the Window" is a captivating cover design by the renowned Victorian illustrator, Kate Greenaway, for her very first children's picture book published in 1879. The image presents a delightful scene of two children, a girl and a boy, sitting under a round window in a quaint Victorian house. The window, framed with intricate white lace curtains, opens up to a lush garden filled with vibrant flowers and blooming shrubs. The children, dressed in their Sunday best, are engrossed in a book, oblivious to the beauty of nature unfolding before them. Greenaway's illustrative style is characterized by her meticulous attention to detail and her use of soft, muted colors. The children's clothing, the textured wallpaper, and the delicate floral patterns all come alive in this exquisite illustration. The circular window not only adds to the whimsical charm of the design but also draws the viewer's eye to the heart of the scene. The text accompanying the illustration, penned by Greenaway herself, reads, "Under the Window," setting the stage for a story that is sure to transport young readers to a world of wonder and imagination. This timeless cover design, with its enchanting illustrations and poetic text, remains a beloved classic from the 1870s, continuing to captivate audiences of all ages. Kate Greenaway's "Under the Window" is a testament to the power of children's literature to inspire and delight, and this beautiful cover design is a visual feast for the senses, inviting readers to step into the magical world of Kate Greenaway's imagination.
