EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "There was a man, and he had nought, and robbers came to rob him" transports us into the world of nursery rhymes. Created by Leonard Leslie Brooke in 1897, this print is part of a private collection that cherishes its historical significance. The image depicts a vulnerable man who possesses nothing but his own vulnerability. As the title suggests, robbers have descended upon him with malicious intent. The artist's attention to detail allows us to feel the tension in the air as we witness this dramatic scene unfold. Brooke's illustration originally accompanied Andrew Lang's compilation, The Nursery Rhyme Book. This timeless book aimed to entertain children with whimsical verses and enchanting stories. Through this artwork, young readers were encouraged to explore their imagination while learning valuable life lessons about resilience and perseverance. As we gaze at this engraving today, it serves as a reminder of the enduring power of storytelling for both children and adults alike. It prompts us to reflect on our own vulnerabilities and how we navigate through challenging circumstances. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece from Fine Art Finder so that future generations can continue to appreciate its beauty and narrative richness without commercial intentions overshadowing its true essence.
