Oranges and Lemons: A Delightful Game of Olden Times - Circa 1780 This charming and enchanting print, titled "Girls play oranges and lemons," takes us back in time to the 18th century, circa 1780. The image captures a delightful moment as young girls engage in a playful game with oranges and lemons. The girls, dressed in elegant attire, sit in a sunlit room adorned with vibrant flowers and lush greenery. They hold oranges and lemons in their hands, their faces filled with joy and excitement. The game of "Oranges and Lemons" is believed to have originated in England during the 18th century. The objective of the game was to pass an orange or a lemon from one player to another while singing a rhyme. The rhyme, which is still sung today, goes as follows: "Oranges and lemons, Say, how comes it? Citrus and blemishes, On a plate and a dish. Here comes a chopper to chop off your head, With a chopper, chopper, chop off your head, And with a pouncing foot trample it under foot, And set Oranges and Lemons to your eyes, And make you see a fine, fine sea of salt." The game was not only a source of entertainment but also a way to teach children about the importance of personal hygiene and the dangers of unsanitary conditions. The oranges and lemons symbolized cleanliness, as citrus fruits were used to freshen breath and ward off illnesses. This print not only showcases the innocence and charm of childhood but also offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the customs and traditions of the 18th century. The vibrant colors, intricate details, and the joyful expressions of the girls make this print a true treasure to behold.
