Goody Two Shoes
A children's picture book published in London and New York by George Routledge and Sons in 1874, illustrated by Walter Crane for young readers. Its four colour-printed plates show a rural village scene with a girl reading to children, a man in yellow hose with a goose and dog, a woman in a blue gown at a doorway with a lamb, and an interior with a child and adults beside a tiled hearth. A designer could take from them the flat outlined shapes, rich earth-toned palette of reds, blues and ochres, and decorative borders framing each scene.
