"Kate's publishers continued to exploit her popularity, and at the end of 1884 several gift books had appeared for the Christmas trade. [Renowned color printer] Evans and Routledge chose a selection of line blocks from previous successes to make the Kate Greenaway Painting Book, and printed 40,000 copies" (Engen), despite which few in this, a later (and rarer) edition in wrappers of slightly smaller size than the first edition issue in wrappers, have survived in collectable condition.
