EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming and mischievous scene captured in a colour lithograph, we witness the comical mishap of a farmer and his grey mare. The print, titled "A Farmer Went Trotting upon His Grey Mare" depicts a father riding on horseback with his daughter perched precariously on the saddle behind him. As they journey along an English road, their attention is caught by a raven perched atop a signpost. Unbeknownst to them, disaster looms as the startled mare stumbles over an unexpected obstacle. In their momentary distraction, a basket filled with eggs tumbles from the girl's lap, resulting in broken shells scattered across the path. Both father and daughter are left wide-eyed and astonished by their sudden misfortune. This delightful illustration hails from "The Panjandrum Picture Book" published by Frederick Warne in 1934. It brings to life the whimsy of nursery rhymes through Caldecott's playful style. With its vivid colors and lively characters, this artwork transports us back to simpler times when such innocent adventures could unfold on country roads. Through this image, we glimpse not only an amusing incident but also gain insight into rural life in England during that era. It serves as a reminder that even amidst mishaps and accidents, there is joy to be found in everyday moments shared between loved ones - whether it be riding horses or simply enjoying each other's company along life's unpredictable journey.
