Greeting Card Artist

Kate Greenaway.  Holiday cards designed by Kate Greenaway, the Victorian children's writer and illustrator, were favorites in the late 1800's.  Most were elaborate, decorated with fringe, silk and satin.  Some were shaped like fans and crescents, others were cut into shapes of bells, birds, candles and even plum pudding.  Some folded like maps or fitted together as puzzles, other squealed or squeaked.  Pop-Up Cards revealed tiny mangers or skaters with flying scarves gliding around a mirrored pond.
