After she studied art at Islington, Kate Greenaway (1846-1901) came to work for the printer and publisher Edmund Evans. The way she depicted the enchanted Regency world was very appealing to the Victorians. Her popularity spread all over the Western world, as did that of her greatest rivals Walter Crane and Randolph Caldecott. B2329
