"Child in a White Dress" is an illustration by Kate Greenaway, a renowned English children's book illustrator and writer from the Victorian era. Greenaway is best known for her idyllic depictions of children and her influence on children's fashion. Born Catherine Greenaway on March 17, 1846, in Hoxton, London, she became one of the most popular and enduring illustrators of her time. Her work typically features children in pastoral and garden settings, dressed in the fashions of the earlier 19th century, which became known as "Kate Greenaway children."

While "Child in a White Dress" is not as individually famous as some of her other works, it is representative of Greenaway's style, which is characterized by its delicate lines, soft color palettes, and nostalgic portrayal of childhood innocence. The illustration would likely depict a young child, possibly a girl given the era's fashion norms, dressed in a white dress that reflects the styles of the Regency or early Victorian period. The dress would be simple yet elegant, with attention to detail that reflects Greenaway's background in formal art training and her keen observation of fabrics and fashion.

Greenaway's illustrations were not only popular in books but were also reproduced as greeting cards, calendars, and other ephemera, contributing to her widespread influence. Her work was engraved and printed by Edmund Evans, a leading color printer of the time, which helped ensure the high quality of her illustrations. Greenaway's illustrations, including "Child in a White Dress," would have appealed to the Victorian and Edwardian sensibilities of her audience, who cherished the romanticized view of childhood she presented.

Kate Greenaway's contribution to children's literature and illustration was recognized during her lifetime and continues to be celebrated. She was a contemporary of other famous children's illustrators such as Walter Crane and Randolph Caldecott. In her honor, the Kate Greenaway Medal, established in 1955, is awarded annually by librarians for distinguished illustration in a book for children.

The specific illustration "Child in a White Dress" would be part of Greenaway's extensive body of work that includes such famous titles as "Under the Window" (1879), "Mother Goose" (1881), and "The Language of Flowers" (1884). While the individual piece may not have the same level of documentation as her published collections, it remains a testament to Greenaway's enduring legacy in the realm of children's book illustration.
