[QUOTE="John Brassey, post: 3912026, member: 15277"]As I expected nobody was able to find an artist E.G but, after a lot of detective work I finally came up with an answer (sort of) and wonder what you might think. Below is a photo of the plates that I bought. All are marked H&Co for Haviland Limoges. All the prints are signed E.G I found a book titled Under The Window written and illustrated by Kate Greenaway Four of the illustrations as shown are identical or mostly identical to those on the plates so they are Kate Greenaway illustrations. My question to you is why E.G.? Was this a deliberate attempt to copy Kate G ? Or was it a combination of the initials Edmund Evans who engraved the plates and Kate Greenaway? I imagine that we won't get a definitive answer but would welcome your thoughts?
