EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming and whimsical color lithograph titled "There was a little man; and he had. . . ", we are transported into the world of nursery rhymes. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a delightful scene from the illustrated book "Ridicula Rediviva" by J E Rogers. The image depicts a small man standing near a babbling brook, his head tilted as if listening intently to something. With bullets scattered around him, it seems that our protagonist has just fired a shot from his tiny gun. The story behind this moment remains unknown, leaving us intrigued and curious about what adventures lie within these pages. This artwork is part of a private collection and showcases the enduring appeal of nursery rhymes in children's literature. Nursery rhymes have long been cherished for their ability to entertain young minds while imparting valuable lessons through verse and storytelling. With its vibrant colors and attention to detail, this illustration transports us back to a time when children's poetry held great significance in European culture. Whether German or English, these timeless tales continue to captivate audiences across generations. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but imagine the countless stories that await discovery within its pages – each one filled with imagination, wonderment, and endless possibilities for young readers everywhere.
