Old Boniface He Loved Good Cheer - Victorian nursery rhyme illustration
Set in the medieval period, a man lies in bed with his pipe, a tankard of beer, wearing his nightcap but with no nightshirt, while his man-servant carries away his day clothes. The man, Old Boniface, is determined to keep comfortable in the rising heat by installing a barrel of Burton-brewed beer beside his bed.
" Old Boniface he loved good cheer - And drank his glass of Burton - And when the nights grew sultry hot - He slept without his shirt on."
From " Nursery Rhymes - Ridicula Rediviva" illustrated by J.E. Rogers, with chromolith printing by R. Clay Sons & Taylor and published in London in 1876 by Macmillan and Co

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical Victorian nursery rhyme illustration, we are transported to the medieval period where we find Old Boniface indulging in his love for good cheer. As the rising heat of the sultry nights becomes unbearable, he devises a clever solution to stay comfortable. With a pipe in hand and a tankard of beer by his side, Old Boniface lies in bed wearing nothing but his nightcap. His loyal man-servant can be seen dutifully carrying away his day clothes, ensuring that Old Boniface is free from any unnecessary layers. But what truly captures our attention is the sight of a barrel of Burton-brewed beer conveniently placed beside his bed. It seems that even during slumber, Old Boniface refuses to part ways with his beloved drink. This charming scene comes from "Nursery Rhymes - Ridicula Rediviva" beautifully illustrated by J. E. Rogers and printed using chromolith technology by R. Clay Sons & Taylor. Published in London in 1876 by Macmillan and Co. , this print transports us back to an era where fantasy meets reality. Through this image, we are reminded of the simple joys found within nursery rhymes – their ability to transport us into imaginative worlds filled with laughter and delight. So let's raise our glasses (or tankards) to Old Boniface as he teaches us that sometimes all it takes is good cheer and a touch of whimsy to make life more enjoyable!
