A Man Went a Hunting at Reigate - Victorian nursery rhyme illustration
A medieval man riding his horse and carrying a blunderbuss is attempting to pass through a gate which is being guarded by the land owner. A dog with a sorrowful face canters by and the towers of a city can be seen in the distance.
" A man went a hunting at Reigate - And wished to leap over a high gate - Says the owner, Go round - With your gun and your hound - For you never shall leap over my gate."
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 Victorian nursery rhyme illustration titled "A Man Went a Hunting at Reigate" we are transported back in time to witness a medieval man's encounter with an imposing gate. Mounted on his majestic horse and armed with a blunderbuss, the determined hunter attempts to pass through the gate guarded by its owner. However, the landowner stands firm, denying him entry and instructing him to go around instead. As our eyes wander across the scene, we notice a sorrowful-faced dog cantering by, perhaps sympathizing with the man's predicament. In the distance, towering over the landscape, we catch glimpses of a bustling cityscape that adds depth and intrigue to this rural setting. This enchanting print from "Nursery Rhymes - Ridicula Rediviva" beautifully captures both whimsy and realism through J. E. Rogers' masterful illustrations. The vibrant chromolith printing technique employed by R. Clay Sons & Taylor further enhances every intricate detail of this timeless artwork. With its themes of forbidden paths and obstacles encountered along life's journey, this illustration serves as a visual reminder of how rules and laws shape our experiences. It invites us to reflect upon resilience and adaptability when faced with roadblocks or unexpected challenges. Whitemay Fine Art Storehouse presents this remarkable piece for your enjoyment without any commercial intentions but rather as an appreciation for historical artistry that continues to captivate audiences even today.
