EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from a late-19th century edition of Mother Goose's Melodies transports us back in time to witness the regal presence of the King himself. The king, adorned with his majestic crown and draped in luxurious ermine robes, is depicted here in the comfort of his opulent parlor. This intricately detailed print offers a glimpse into the economic landscape of 19th century England. The image showcases not only the grandeur associated with royalty but also hints at the financial implications that come with such power. In this living room setting, we see coins scattered on a table, symbolizing wealth and prosperity. The bag filled with pounds further emphasizes the importance of finance during this era. As we delve deeper into this enchanting scene, it becomes evident that even nursery rhymes like Mother Goose's Melodies were influenced by economic factors. The inclusion of these monetary elements within popular children's literature serves as a reminder that economics permeates every aspect of our lives. Through this remarkable wood engraving, we are transported to an era where kings reigned supreme and finances played a crucial role in society. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical artifact, allowing us to reflect on how economy has shaped our past and continues to shape our present world.
