Footnotes

In the letter, dated 2 April 1889, Greenaway writes to booksellers Palmer & Howe of Manchester, apparently enclosing the original drawings for Queen of the Pirate Isle; according to Spielmann and Layard, she sold her Pied Piper and 1893 Almanack illustrations to them (Spielmann, pp.172, 182). "I think the getting up of the book very nice," she writes, "but of course the drawings would look far better and cleaner if they were surrounded by raised mounts".

Henry Stacy Marks, to whom she inscribes this copy of Language of Flowers, was "her kind mentor and chief adviser" (Spielmann, p.104).
