Kate Greenaway
One of the most outstanding illustrators of her time, she was born in London in 1946 but spent her childhood growing up in the countryside of Nottinghamshire. She went on to study at the Female School of Art in South Kensington and then the Slade School. Like Caldecott and Crane, it was her association with the printer Edmund Evans that started her success.
He helped her publish her first picture book "Under the Window", in 1879 by Routledge. Many more followed as well as almanacks, which she started producing in 1883.
Among her early books, "Diamonds and Toads" that was published by Warne in 1871 remains the most sort after. She died in 1901, aged 55.
The first use of color-lithography in any of her Books was in "The April Baby’s Book of Tunes" written by Mary Annette Arnim and published in London and New York by Macmillan in 1900.
