Old lady telling stories to children
An old lady telling stories to a group of wide-eyed children. Her memories must relate to the 18th century, which these modern young Regency blades would think to be pre-historic! From " The Horkey - A Ballad" by Robert Bloomfield and illustrated by George Cruikshank; published by MacMillan & Co, London, 1882. The " ballad" is set in Suffolk, England and the Horkey is the harvest supper, or end-of-harvest celebratory meal

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting print, we are transported back in time to a cozy corner of an English cottage. An old lady sits by the fireplace, surrounded by a group of wide-eyed children, eager to hear her tales. As she knits with nimble fingers, her memories take us on a journey through the 18th century. Dressed in traditional Regency attire, these modern young blades find themselves spellbound by stories that seem pre-historic to them. The old lady's reminiscences relate to the Horkey - a harvest supper and end-of-harvest celebration in Suffolk, England. Illustrated by George Cruikshank and published in 1882, this engraved image captures the essence of English culture and nostalgia for times gone by. The elderly woman wears a bonnet and shawl while donning an apron over her period costume. Her wrinkled face tells tales of wisdom gained through the aging process. As she speaks animatedly about past traditions and customs, the children listen intently from their seats or stand beside her chair. Their behavior reflects both respect for their elder and fascination with history unfolding before their eyes. This scene reminds us of the power of storytelling as a means of communication across generations. It celebrates British heritage while showcasing human connections that transcend time. Through this beautifully detailed print, we are reminded that our roots shape who we are today and provide endless opportunities for discussion, humor, and shared experiences.
