1887 Almanack Autumn Greenaway Kate
EDITORS COMMENTS
Autumn, from 'The Almanack' for 1887 by Kate Greenaway Autumn, the season of crisp air, vibrant foliage, and harvest bounty, comes alive in this enchanting illustration by renowned English artist, Kate Greenaway. Dated 1887, this image is taken from her publication, 'The Almanack,' which was an annual calendar filled with beautiful illustrations and verses. Greenaway's artistic style, characterized by her intricate line work, delicate watercolors, and whimsical subjects, was widely popular during the late Victorian era. In this illustration, she masterfully depicts the essence of autumn with a scene of children playing amongst a golden, leaf-strewn landscape. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, as the children, dressed in their autumnal best, engage in simple joys such as apple picking and pumpkin carving. The illustration is rich in detail, with each element contributing to the overall mood and story. The trees, adorned with fiery red, orange, and yellow leaves, stand tall against the clear blue sky. The children's clothing, from their coats and bonnets to their boots and mittens, reflects the season's changing temperatures. The inclusion of autumnal fruits, such as apples and pumpkins, adds to the harvest theme, while the children's playful expressions and activities capture the spirit of the season. This beautiful illustration, 'Autumn' from 'The Almanack' for 1887, is a testament to Kate Greenaway's artistic talent and her ability to capture the essence of a season in a single image. It remains a cherished piece of autumnal art, evoking feelings of warmth, nostalgia, and the simple joys of the harvest season.
