From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Under the Window From Wikipedia: Under the Window: Pictures & Rhymes for Children (London, 1879) was Kate Greenaway's first children's picture book, composed of her own verses and illustrations.[1] Selling over 100,000 copies, the toy book was a commercial success, helped launch Greenaway's career as a children's book illustrator and author in the late 19th century as well as starting what became known as the "Greenaway vogue". Although Greenaway illustrated over 150 books, Under the Window and Marigold Garden (1885) were the only two books that she both wrote and illustrated.[1] Under the Window is considered to be one of the first earliest examples of a designer picture book,[2] and its popularity caused it to be imitated, the most blatant of which was the edition Frederick Warne published within weeks of its release.
