'''Catherine Greenaway''' (17 March 1846{{spaced ndash}}6 November 1901) was an English [[Victorian era|Victorian]] artist and writer, known for her 
[[children's book]] illustrations. She received her education in graphic design and art between 1858 and 1871 from the Finsbury School of Art, the [[Royal College of Art|South Kensington School of Art]], the [[Heatherley School of Fine Art|Heatherley School of Art]], and the [[Slade School of Fine Art]]. She began her career designing for the burgeoning greetings card market, producing Christmas and Valentine's cards.  In 1879 wood-block engraver and printer [[Edmund Evans]] printed ''[[Under the Window]]'', an instant best-seller, which established her reputation. Her collaboration with Evans continued throughout the 1880s and 1890s.

The depictions of children in imaginary 18th-century costumes in a Queen Anne style were extremely popular in England and internationally, sparking the Kate Greenaway style. Within a few years of the publication of ''Under the Window'' Greenaway's work was imitated in [[England]], [[German Empire|Germany]], and the [[United States]].

==Childhood==
<!-- [[File:Under the Window.jpg|thumb|left|upright=0.85|Title page of ''[[Under the Window]]'' (1879)]] -->
[[File:John Greenaway (father of Kate Greenaway), wood-engraver. By Birket Foster, R.W.S.jpg|thumb|Pencil drawing of John Greenaway at work, by [[Birket Foster]]]]
Kate Greenaway was born in [[Hoxton]], London, the second of four children, to a working-class family. Her mother, Elizabeth, was a dress maker and her father, John, an [[Engraving|engraver]] who gave up steady employment with [[Ebenezer Landells]]' engraving firm to strike out on his own. When Greenaway was very young, he accepted a commission to provide the engraved illustrations to a new edition of [[Charles Dickens]]'s ''[[The Pickwick Papers]]'', sending his young family away to relatives in the countryside to give himself solitude while producing the engravings. Kate's earliest memories are of [[Rolleston, Nottinghamshire]], which affected her deeply. It was a place she returned to frequently in her childhood.<ref name = "Devereux49ff">Devereux, 49-50</ref><ref name = "Carpenter225"/> According to children's literature scholar [[Humphrey Carpenter]], the period was to Greenaway "crucial ... she felt it to be her real home, a country of the mind that she could always reimagine". After returning to grimy London streets Rolleston became a place to visit in her mind and constantly embellish.<ref name = "Carpenter225">Carpenter, 225</ref>

The publisher who commissioned John Greenaway's work went bankrupt, leaving the family without an income.<ref name = "Devereux49ff">Devereux, 49-50</ref><ref name = "Carpenter225"/> When Elizabeth Greenaway returned from Rolleston with the children, the family moved to [[Islington]], where she opened a children's dress shop that attracted well-to-do clients.<ref name="Spiegel">Spiegel, 53</ref> 
The family lived in the flat above the shop,<ref name="Devereux, 50">Devereux, 50</ref> and young Kate, often left to her own devices to explore,<ref name="Spiegel"/> spent many hours in the enclosed courtyard garden, later writing about it in her unfinished autobiography as a place filled with "richness of colour and depth of shade."<ref name="Devereux, 50"/>

John Greenaway provided for his mother and two sisters as well as for his own family.<ref name="Spiegel"/> He took piecemeal engraving jobs, usually for weekly publications, such as ''[[The Illustrated London News]]''. He frequently worked on the wood carving throughout the night in front of the fire.<ref name= "Devereux49ff"/> Kate enjoyed watching him, and through his work was exposed to illustrations by [[John Leech (caricaturist)|John Leech]], [[John Gilbert (painter)|John Gilbert]], and [[Kenny Meadows]].<ref name= "Devereux53ff">Devereux, 53</ref>

As a young child Greenaway's parents taught her at home; later she was sent to various dame schools;<ref name = "Carpenter225"/> she was an avid reader of [[chapbook]] versions of fairy tales – her favourites were "[[Sleeping Beauty]]", "[[Cinderella]]", and "[[Beauty and the Beast]]" – as well as illustrated editions of [[Shakespeare]], writing later that children "often don’t care a bit about the books people think they will and I think they often like grown-up books – at least I did."<ref name = "Carpenter225"/> Her father's engravings exposed her to weekly news stories, some of which were quite grisly, such as the series of his illustrations for the ''Illustrated London News'' in 1856 about murderer [[William Palmer (murderer)|William Palmer]].<ref name= "Devereux53ff"/>

==Education and early work==
[[File:Kate Greenaway at 16.jpg|thumb|Greenaway at age 16]]
In 1857, at age 12, she began night classes at nearby Finsbury School,<ref name = "Carpenter225"/><!-- needs fleshing out --> a local branch of [[Royal College of Art|South Kensington School of Art]] participating in [[Science and Art Department|National Course of Art Training]] in the decorative arts. Night courses, open only to women, were offered in drawing, porcelain painting, wood engraving, and [[lithography]].<ref name ="Devereux57ff"/> She enrolled full-time a year later. The curriculum, devised by [[Henry Cole (inventor)|Henry Cole]], was meant to train artisans in designing decorative wallpaper, tiles, and carpets. It emphasised strict adherence to copying geometric and botanical elements without creativity. There were four stages of courses, which she completed in 1864<ref name ="Devereux57ff">Devereux, 57-60</ref> before going to the [[Royal Female School of Art]].<ref name="Carpenter226"/>

The headmaster at the Royal Female School of Art was [[Richard Burchett]], whom [[Elizabeth Thompson]] described as a "bearded, velvet-skull-capped and cold-searching-eyed man."<ref name ="Devereux57ff" /> Greenaway was quite shy and thought of herself as plain and unattractive compared to the other students. Yet she became friends with the much more popular Thompson,<ref name ="Devereux57ff" /> with whom she shared a studio.<ref name="Spielmann, 43">Spielmann, 43</ref> The two young women worked diligently in their studio to perfect their skills. At this point she was allowed to draw human figures, at first from plaster casts and then from models dressed in historical or ornamental costumes, skills she applied during the summers in Rolleston. However, she was unable to fully master human anatomy;<ref name = "Carpenter226">Carpenter, 226</ref> frustrated that nude models were not permitted in the women's classes, she enrolled in night classes at [[Heatherley School of Fine Art]] where she met [[Edward Burne-Jones]], [[Edward Poynter]], and [[Walter Crane]].<ref name ="Devereux57ff" />

[[File:Kate Greenaway Diamond and Toads 1871.jpg|thumb|left|Greenaway illustrated "[[Diamonds and Toads]]" for [[Frederick Warne & Co]] in 1871.]]
In 1871 she enrolled in the [[Slade School of Fine Art]], where Poynter was head master.<ref name ="Devereux57ff" /> Determined to break from Henry Cole's rigid curriculum, he exhorted students to become more expressive and creative, concepts alien to Greenaway whose long early years of training consisted solely of copying and work with geometric designs. She struggled at Heatherley and once again was frustrated that women were segregated from men in the life class.<ref name ="Devereux57ff" />

While she was still in school, Greenaway received commissions for children's book illustrations. The first came in 1867 for a frontispiece for ''Infant Amusements'', setting a path towards specialization in children's books.<ref name="Huneault" >Huneault, 611</ref> Her reputation was built on the awards she had won while completing the National Art Courses, and buttressed with early exhibitions. She exhibited a set of fairy watercolours in 1868, which she sold to [[W. J. Loftie]],  publisher of ''People's Magazine''.<ref name="Huneault" >Huneault, 611</ref> He set them to verse and printed them in his magazine. A year later [[Frederick Warne & Co]] purchased six illustrations for a toy book edition of "[[Diamonds and Toads]]",<ref name="deGrummond">[http://www.lib.usm.edu/legacy/degrum/public_html/html/research/findaids/greenaway.htm ''Greenaway Papers''], USM de Grummond Library. Accessed October 4, 2017</ref> printed by [[Joseph Martin Kronheim]],<ref>Spielmann, 49</ref> which took a year to complete.<ref name ="Devereux57ff" /> In 1871 Gall & Inglis published an edition of [[Madame d'Aulnoy]]'s fairy tales, which she illustrated.<ref name="deGrummond"/> That year she continued with her classes and earned more than 70 pounds.<ref name ="Devereux57ff" />

She was aware that the work she produced was overly gaudy, in part because she lacked technical knowledge of the [[Chromoxylography]] process. To gain a better understanding of the colour process, she made frequent visits to the [[National Gallery]],<ref name="Devereux60">Devereux, 60</ref> where she studied masters such as [[Jan van Eyck]], whose [[Arnolfini Portrait]] she especially liked.<ref name="Spielmann, 43"/> At that time, she gained access to the manuscript room at the [[British Museum]], where she studied [[illuminated manuscripts]].<ref>Spielmann, 47</ref>

==Freelance years==
The new, popular and lucrative card market coincided with the end of Greenaway's formal training.<ref name ="Devereux57ff" /> Greetings cards first appeared in the 1840s, and by the 1860s the market had exploded.<ref>Rudikoff, 409</ref> Card maker [[Marcus Ward & Co]] hired Greenaway in 1871 on a freelance basis.<ref name="deGrummond"/> With its reputation for high quality work, the Belfast firm was one of the pre-eminent card printers of the Victorian era. Her designs sold well and they said of her work that “her special talent was in the direction of costume figures and dainty colours.”<ref name = "Devereux60">Devereux, 60</ref>  Her cards sold well, and early Valentines sold 25,000 copies in weeks.<ref>Spielmann, 48</ref>

==''Under the Window''==
Her first book, ''[[Under the Window]]'' (1879), a collection of simple, perfectly [[idyll]]ic verses about children, was a bestseller.<ref name = "Danger311">Danger, 311</ref>

==Later years and death==
[[File:39 Frognal.jpg|thumb|upright=0.9|The house in [[Frognal]] built for Kate Greenaway by [[Richard Norman Shaw]]]]

In the 1880s, the most popular designers of [[bookplates]] were Greenaway, along with Crane and [[Aubrey Beardsley]]. Their work exhibited intricate [[art nouveau]] elements with flowing vines and floral patterns.<ref>Keenan, James. (2003) ''The Art of the Bookplate''. Barnes & Noble. {{ISBN|9780760746967}}, 23-24</ref>

Greenaway was elected to membership of the [[Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours]] in 1889. She exhibited her work at the [[Museum of Science and Industry (Chicago)|Palace of Fine Arts]] at the 1893 [[World's Columbian Exposition]] in Chicago, Illinois.<ref name="Nichols">{{cite web |last1=Nichols |first1=K. L. |title=Women's Art at the World's Columbian Fair & Exposition, Chicago 1893| url=http://arcadiasystems.org/academia/cassatt9b.html#greenaway|access-date=29 July 2018}}</ref> She lived in an [[Arts and Crafts style]] house she commissioned from [[Richard Norman Shaw]] in [[Frognal]], London, although she spent summers in Rolleston.

Greenaway died of breast cancer in 1901, at the age of 55.<ref>[https://www.clevelandart.org/research/in-the-library/collection-in-focus/k-kate...kate-greenaway K is for Kate] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191219172700/https://www.clevelandart.org/research/in-the-library/collection-in-focus/k-kate...kate-greenaway |date=19 December 2019 }}. Cleveland Museum of Art. Retrieved September 18, 2017</ref> She is buried in [[Hampstead Cemetery]], London.

==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 [[1795–1820 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]] (1758–1810) 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.

==Legacy==
The [[Kate Greenaway Medal]], established in her honour in 1955, is awarded annually by the [[Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals]] in the UK to an illustrator of children's books.
