1879 Fence Greenaway Hedge Kate
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting illustration, published in 1879, captures the innocence and charm of childhood in the late Victorian era. The little girl, named Kate, stands in front of her quaint, red-brick house adorned with ivy and a beautiful flowering tree. She wears a simple white dress and a sun hat, shielding her from the bright sunlight. In her arms, she cradles a woven basket overflowing with vibrant, fresh flowers, picked from the garden. The house's quaint details, such as the arched window, white shutters, and picket fence, add to the idyllic scene. The gate, adorned with intricate ironwork, is slightly ajar, inviting the viewer into Kate's world. A hedge, lush with greenery, frames the left side of the image, adding depth and texture. The illustration, created by an unknown artist for the popular Victorian publisher, Lewis Carroll & Co., is reminiscent of the works of Randolph Caldecott and Kate Greenaway. The attention to detail and the use of natural colors evoke a sense of nostalgia and wonder, transporting the viewer to a simpler time. The little girl's joyful expression and the beauty of her surroundings convey a sense of peace and contentment, making this illustration a timeless treasure. The image of Kate and her basket of flowers has become a symbol of the innocence and beauty of childhood, and continues to inspire artists and collectors alike.
