EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical and enchanting print, we are transported back to a time when nursery rhymes came alive through the vivid imagination of storytellers. The scene captures a moment of pure astonishment as a startled milkmaid gazes wide-eyed at an extraordinary sight - a cow gracefully leaping over a crescent moon. The intricate details in this 19th-century style artwork by Randolph Caldecott bring the story to life, showcasing his mastery in capturing both the essence of rural life and the magic hidden within children's tales. The milkmaid's expression perfectly conveys her disbelief and wonderment, while her hands remain frozen mid-action from milking. As we delve into our childhood memories, we recall the familiar rhyme "Hey Diddle Diddle" where animals defy gravity and logic. This print is part of Caldecott's Second Collection of Pictures and Songs, which includes beloved classics such as "Baby Bunting" and "Ride a Cock Horse". Printed by E. Evans under George Routledge & Sons' publishing house in London & New York around 1885, this piece serves as an enduring reminder that storytelling transcends generations. It invites us to embrace our inner child once more and marvel at the boundless possibilities found within nursery rhymes. Whitemay Fine Art Storehouse has carefully preserved this image for all those who appreciate artistry intertwined with nostalgia – reminding us that even in today's fast-paced world, there is still room for imagination to take flight.
