1879 Bunch Disappointed Greenaway Kate Smock Straw Turnips Vegetables
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting Victorian-era illustration, a little girl named Kate stands disappointedly at the garden gate, her small frame framed by the ornate ironwork. The sun casts a warm glow over the lush, green garden, filled with ripe vegetables and vibrant flowers. The scene is set in the 1870s, as evidenced by Kate's traditional smock dress and straw hat adorned with a ribbon. The little girl clutches a small bunch of turnips in her hands, her expression suggesting that she had hoped for something more exciting on this particular day. Her rosy cheeks and pouted lips convey a sense of childlike innocence and disappointment. The garden gate, with its intricate design and rusted hinges, serves as a threshold between the mundane world of everyday life and the magical realm of imagination. This beautiful illustration, first published in 1879, was created by the renowned Victorian artist Kate Greenaway. Greenaway was known for her whimsical and detailed depictions of children in their natural environments, capturing the essence of childhood wonder and curiosity. The illustration is a testament to the simple joys of rural life and the beauty of nature, as well as the universal experience of feeling let down by the ordinary. The garden gate stands as a symbol of opportunity and possibility, inviting the viewer to step into the world of this little girl and explore the wonders of the garden beyond. The illustration is a delightful reminder of the importance of finding joy in the simple things in life and the magic that can be found in even the most ordinary moments.
