Children in gardens, nursery verses and greeting-card designs appear alongside studio views and early sketches in prints from Kate Greenaway, the illustrated biographical study by M. H. Spielmann and G. S. Layard, published by Adam and Charles Black in 1905. Small figures in her characteristic dress and literary illustrations sit beside portraits, pencil studies and some less familiar architectural subjects. Views of her home and studio at 39 Frognal, Hampstead, and portraits of family and sitters fill out the story of her life. The colour plates were engraved and printed by the Menpes Press, with monochrome illustrations adding further drawings and documents.
