EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image is a beautiful representation of a summer day in the late 1800s, as depicted in the Calendar of the Seasons, 1881, designed by the renowned Victorian artist Kate Greenaway for Marcus Ward & Co. in London and Belfast. The scene captures the essence of summer with its lush greenery, vibrant roses, and two young girls dressed in elegant pink attire, enjoying the sunshine in a tranquil garden setting. The girls, adorned in intricately designed pink dresses and matching bonnets, are shown picking roses from a garden filled with an array of colorful flowers. The older girl holds a large basket, ready to collect the blooms, while the younger girl gazes at a rose in her hand, her expression one of pure delight. The girls' clothing, with its voluminous skirts and high collars, is typical of the fashionable Victorian era. The background of the print is filled with the rich colors of the garden, including various shades of green grass, leaves, and flowers. The warm, sunny weather is evident in the girls' rosy cheeks and the gentle shadows cast by the trees. This charming image not only captures the beauty of the summer season but also provides a glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of the Victorian era. The Calendar of the Seasons, 1881, was a popular series of prints produced by Marcus Ward & Co. that showcased the changing seasons throughout the year. Kate Greenaway's designs, known for their intricate details and whimsical charm, were a perfect fit for this series and continue to captivate audiences today.
