In 1879 wood-block engraver and printer, Edmund Evans, printed '' Under the Window'', an instant best-seller, which established her reputation. Her collaboration with Evans continued throughout the 1880s and 1890s. The depictions of children in imaginary 18th-century costumes in a Queen Anne style were extremely popular in England and internationally, sparking the Kate Greenaway style. Within a few years of the publication of ''Under the Window'' Greenaway's work was imitated in

John Greenaway provided for his mother and two sisters as well as for his own family. He took piecemeal engraving jobs, usually for weekly publications, such as '' The Illustrated London News''. He frequently worked on the wood carving throughout the night in front of the fire. Kate enjoyed watching him, and through his work was exposed to illustrations by John Leech, John Gilbert and Kenny Meadows.Devereux, 53 As a young child Greenaway's parents taught her at home; later she was sent to various dame schools; she was an avid reader of

, writing later that children "often don’t care a bit about the books people think they will and I think they often like grown-up books – at least I did." Her father's engravings exposed her to weekly news stories, some of which were quite grisly, such as the series of his illustrations for the ''Illustrated London News'' in 1856 about murderer William Palmer.

Education and early work

Determined to break from Henry Cole's rigid curriculum, he exhorted students to become more expressive and creative, concepts alien to Greenaway whose long early years of training consisted solely of copying and work with geometric designs. She struggled at Heatherley and once again was frustrated that women were segregated from men in the life class. While she was still in school, Greenaway received commissions for children's book illustrations. The first came in 1867 for a frontispiece for ''Infant Amusements'', setting a path towards specialization in children's books.Huneault, 611 Her reputation was built on the awards she had won while completing the National Art Courses, and buttressed with early exhibitions.

Freelance years

The new, popular and lucrative card market coincided with the end of Greenaway's formal training. Greetings cards first appeared in the 1840s, and by the 1860s the market exploded. Card maker Marcus Ward & Co hired Greenaway in 1871 on a freelance basis. With its reputation for quality work, the Belfast firm was one of the pre-eminent Victoria era card printers. Her designs sold well and they said of her work that “her special talent was in the direction of costume figures and dainty colours.”Devereux, 60 Her cards sold well, and early Valentines sold 25,000 copies in weeks.

s for boys, high-waisted pinafores and dresses with mobcaps and straw bonnets for girls. The influence of children's clothes in portraits by British painter John Hoppner (1758–1810) may have provided her some inspiration. Liberty of London adapted Kate Greenaway's drawings as designs for actual children's clothes. A full generation of mothers in the liberal-minded "artistic" British circles who called themselves The Souls and embraced the Arts and Crafts movement dressed their daughters in Kate Greenaway pantaloons and bonnets in the 1880s and 1890s. The style was often used by painter Maude Goodman in her depictions of children.

Legacy

The Kate Greenaway Medal, established in her honour in 1955, is awarded annually by the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals in the UK to an illustrator of children's books.
