EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a whimsical scene from the beloved nursery rhyme, "The man in the moon came tumbling down". Published in 1914 as part of A Nursery Rhyme Picture Book, this colour lithograph by Leonard Leslie Brooke brings to life the enchanting tale. In this image, we see a picturesque nighttime setting with a vast field and a starry sky above. The focal point is undoubtedly the man in the moon himself, who appears to be falling from his celestial perch. Clutching onto his broomstick and cudgel for dear life, he descends towards Earth with an expression of surprise on his face. Below him, a young shepherd boy tends to his flock of sheep peacefully grazing in the pasture. His lantern illuminates the scene as he gazes up at this extraordinary occurrence unfolding before him. Even his loyal dog seems captivated by the spectacle. This historical gem from Heritage Images not only showcases Leonard Leslie Brooke's exceptional illustration skills but also transports us back to a time when nursery rhymes held immense charm and wonderment for children and adults alike. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern world, there is still room for imagination and magic.
