==Style== Greenaway's paintings were reproduced by [[chromoxylography]], by which the colours were printed from hand-engraved wood blocks by the firm of [[Edmund Evans]].<ref>[http://www.lib.udel.edu/ud/spec/exhibits/color/reliefs.htm Color Printing in the 19th century]. University of Delaware.Retrieved September 18, 2017</ref> Through the 1880s and 1890s, her only rivals in popularity in children's [[book illustration]] were [[Walter Crane]] and [[Randolph Caldecott]]. "Kate Greenaway" children, all of them girls and boys too young to be put in trousers, were dressed in her own versions of [[1795β1820 in fashion|late 18th century and Regency fashions]]: [[smock-frock]]s and [[skeleton suit]]s for boys, high-waisted pinafores and dresses with [[Bonnet (headgear)|mobcaps and straw bonnet]]s for girls. The influence of children's clothes in portraits by British painter [[John Hoppner]] (1758β1810) may have provided her some inspiration. [[Liberty (department store)|Liberty of London]] adapted Kate Greenaway's drawings as designs for actual children's clothes. A full generation of mothers in the liberal-minded "artistic" British circles who called themselves [[The Souls]] and embraced the [[Arts and Crafts movement]] dressed their daughters in Kate Greenaway pantaloons and bonnets in the 1880s and 1890s.<ref name = "Danger311"/> The style was often used by painter [[Maude Goodman]] in her depictions of children.
