EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the late 19th century takes us back to a time when nursery rhymes were cherished by children and adults alike. The illustration, created by L. Leslie Brooke for Andrew Lang's Book of Nursery Rhymes, depicts a whimsical scene that is both amusing and endearing. In this particular rhyme titled "Barber, barber, shave a pig" we witness an unexpected twist on the traditional role of a hairdresser. A Scottish barber can be seen diligently working on shaving the bristly fur of none other than a pig! With his pen-and-ink technique, Brooke brings life to this comical moment as he captures the concentration on the barber's face while carefully wielding his razor. The intricate details in this artwork transport us to an era where storytelling was passed down through generations with these beloved rhymes. As we gaze upon this image, it sparks our imagination and reminds us of simpler times when children would eagerly listen to these verses before bedtime. This first edition print serves as not only a visual delight but also as a historical artifact from turn-of-the-century literature. It encapsulates the charm and creativity that resonated with readers during that period. Whether displayed in nurseries or art collections, this timeless piece continues to captivate viewers with its nostalgic appeal.
