Goosey Goosey Gander: A Peek into the Playful World of a Victorian Nursery Rhyme This charming antique print, titled 'Goosey Goosey Gander,' transports us back in time to the Victorian era, where children's rhymes and games held a significant place in their daily lives. The rhyme 'Goosey Goosey Gander' has been a popular nursery rhyme for centuries, with its origins dating back to the 18th century. The print, from Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the essence of this rhyme with its delightful illustration. The rhyme goes, 'Goosey Goosey Gander, where shall I wander? Upstairs, downstairs, and in my lady's chamber!' The print depicts a mischievous goose, wearing a red cap and a mischievous grin, peering curiously through a keyhole. The scene is set in a Victorian-era nursery, with toys scattered around, and a fireplace burning brightly in the background. The goose's wanderlust takes him to various places, as suggested by the rhyme, including the upstairs and the downstairs, and finally, the lady's chamber. The print is a fascinating glimpse into the history of nursery rhymes and the way they were used to entertain and educate children in the Victorian era. The rhyme, with its playful and slightly naughty undertones, would have been a source of amusement for children, while also teaching them about the different parts of a house and the concept of privacy. The print's intricate details, from the goose's expression to the toys in the background, add to its charm and make it a delightful addition to any home or office. In conclusion, this print of 'Goosey Goosey Gander' is a beautiful reminder of the rich history of nursery rhymes and the joy they brought to children in the Victorian era. It is a must-have for anyone with an interest in history, nursery rhymes, or simply, the charm of the past.
