EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a whimsical scene straight out of a Victorian nursery rhyme. A group of medieval characters, adorned in elaborate costumes, gather together to discuss the adventures of the young lady on the left. She has just returned from an extraordinary journey to London, where she had the privilege of meeting the Queen herself. The men and women are engrossed in conversation, their animated gestures suggesting excitement and intrigue. They marvel at how this pretty maid managed to capture the attention of royalty with nothing more than a simple bunch of flowers. The nursery rhyme verse echoes through their minds as they inquire about what gift she received in return for her humble offering. To everyone's astonishment, she proudly reveals a large diamond bestowed upon her by none other than Her Majesty. The size of this precious gem is said to be as big as her shoe! Such an unexpected reward for such a seemingly small gesture leaves them all enchanted and filled with wonder. This enchanting illustration comes from "Nursery Rhymes - Ridicula Rediviva" beautifully brought to life by J. E. Rogers' artistic talent and R. Clay Sons & Taylor's chromolith printing technique. Published in 1876 by Macmillan and Co. , it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm and imaginative storytelling prowess.
