METAL PICTURE BUTTONS – KATE GREENAWAY

Kate Greenaway was a children’s book illustrator in England in the late 1800’s.  She drew lots of little girls in bonnets and flowing dresses.

One button depicts two children sitting on a fence with a sunshade and it is titled “Summer.”  It is a pierced white metal button and has been tinted purple.  The other one shows four little girls and is of stamped brass.  They are both rather small buttons at approx. 1  1/2cm.
