Greenway, Kate

Marigold Garden, Pictures and Rhymes, by Kate Greenaway. London/New York , Frederick Warne & Co, n. d. [1885].

Hardcover with green linen spine and paper covered boards. The covers are slightly worn and the paperboards show some little scratches. The endpapers show very light foxing. The book is in good condition. 19,5 x 25 cm, [4] 5-57 pp. With illustrations by Kate Greenaway throughout the text. The front and backboards show the illustration of three little girls looking over a patio door. The picture is surrounded with a flower pattern on a green background. Every page contains a poem and different types of illustrations by Kate Greenaway. This book shows that color printing evolved rapidly at the end of the nineteenth century. The colours used by Greenaway are printed in a more vibrant, self-coloured way. This book is another great example of how beautifully she drew Victorian-like costumes and flowers.
