Rock-a-bye-Baby
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a classic nursery rhyme that has been passed down through generations, captivating children and adults alike with its soothing melody and intriguing imagery. This beautiful illustration, created by the talented Florence Mary Anderson for the Cassells Children's Annual around 1920, brings the rhyme to life in a way that is both enchanting and timeless. The scene depicts a mother gently rocking her baby in a cradle, nestled beneath the branches of a grand old tree. The tree's leaves sway in the breeze, creating a sense of calm and tranquility. Above them, the moon casts a soft glow over the scene, while the stars twinkle in the night sky. The baby's eyes are closed in peaceful slumber, a contented smile playing at the corners of his mouth. The illustration captures the essence of the rhyme, which tells the story of a baby being rocked to sleep in a tree, with the wind causing the cradle to sway back and forth. The words "hush-a-bye, don't cry, go to sleep, it's time for your mother's milk" are often sung as part of the rhyme, adding to the soothing effect. Florence Mary Anderson's illustration is a testament to the enduring appeal of "Rock-a-bye-Baby," which has been a favorite nursery rhyme for over two centuries. The image is a reminder of the simple joys of childhood and the comforting bond between mother and child. It is a beautiful work of art that continues to delight and inspire, and a fitting representation of the magic and wonder of the world of nursery rhymes.
