EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "They Went to a Bower. . . c1885" and created by Randolph Caldecott in 1934, transports us back to a charming scene from the past. The image is taken from the book illustration of "Come Lasses and Lads" featured in "The Panjandrum Picture Book" beautifully illustrated by Caldecott. In this delightful depiction, we witness a group of men and women immersed in an idyllic summer setting. After spending some time together, they retreat to a bower adorned with vibrant flowers where laughter fills the air. Here, they engage in playful games for small rewards like ale and cakes while stealing sweet kisses along the way. The lasses hold the stakes as these couples indulge in innocent flirtation. Caldecott's artistic talent shines through his use of color and detail, capturing both nature's beauty and human connection. This enchanting piece evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times when romance bloomed amidst picturesque landscapes. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the rich literary tradition that inspired it - nursery rhymes passed down through generations. It serves as a testament to Caldecott's ability to bring stories to life through his illustrations. Preserved within this photograph is not only an exquisite work of art but also a glimpse into British culture during the late 19th century. Through its timeless appeal, it continues to captivate viewers even today.
