EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming Victorian nursery rhyme illustration captures the whimsical tale of "Little Miss Lily, You're Dreadfully Silly". The print showcases an elaborately-dressed young medieval lady standing on the riverbank, her blue dress with a long flowing skirt cascading around her. However, she finds herself in a precarious situation as she is dangerously close to sinking into the muddy ground. The accompanying verse gently admonishes Little Miss Lily for her fashion choice and offers practical advice: "To wear such a very long skirt - if you take my advice - You would hold it up nice - And not let it trail in the dirt". It serves as a reminder that sometimes even the most elegant attire can be impractical or ill-suited for certain situations. Illustrated by J. E. Rogers and printed using chromolith printing by R. Clay Sons & Taylor, this enchanting piece was published in London in 1876 by Macmillan and Co. Its vibrant colors and intricate details transport us back to a time when nursery rhymes were cherished stories passed down through generations. Whether displayed in a child's room or admired by art enthusiasts, this delightful print evokes nostalgia while reminding us of the timeless wisdom found within classic tales. Little Miss Lily's predicament serves as both entertainment and instruction – encouraging us all to consider practicality alongside style choices.
