Kate Greenaway (Catherine Greenaway) ( London, March 17 , 1846 - November 6 , 1901 ) was a children's book illustrator and writer. Her first book, ''Under The Window'' (1879), a collection of simple, perfectly idyllic verses concerning children who endlessly gathered posies, untouched by the Industrial Revolution , was a best-seller. The Kate Greenaway Medal is awarded annually by the UK Chartered Institute Of Library And Information Professionals to an illustrator of children's books. New techniques of s and Skeleton Suit s for boys, high-waisted pinafores and dresses with 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's 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 that called themselves " The Souls " and embraced the Arts And Crafts Movement dressed their daughters in Kate Greenaway pantaloons and bonnets in the 1880s and 90s.
