A apple pie

Greenaway, Kate, 1846-1901, Katherine Golden Bitting Collection on Gastronomy (Library of Congress), Frederick Warne (Firm), publisher · 1900 · London ; New York : F. Warne, [1900]. · 22 pictures

A Kate Greenaway alphabet picture book published by Frederick Warne in London and New York in 1900, built around a nursery rhyme for young children. The pictures show a pie-making sequence, each letter paired with a dressed-up child and a single action word. Designers can take its tidy, pastel-tinted Regency-style costume and the framed, cream-paged layout as a model for vintage children's illustration.
